Through The Sandglass

"Sand Wars" at the Washington DC Environmental Film Festival

The US Premiere of the documentary Sand Wars, to which your humble correspondent contributed, will be shown as part of the Environmental Film Festival in Washington on the 20th March. The Director, Denis Delestrac, and I will be there, and I understand that there is a discussion program in which we will participate.

So, if you're in the DC area and are at a loss for entertainment that evening, come along! Join the 1.9 million people in France and Germany who watched it when it was aired on ARTE TV last year! See the website for details (as above).

The sands of Mars (again)

Periodically, I become absorbed in the wonders of the images on the Mars High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment site. I recently became exhausted by the process of obtaining permissions for illustrations in the new book and escaped by browsing the catalog for a couple of hours - it becomes compulsive. So, while I return to the permissions, here a selection of the stunning dunes of Mars that I found particularly wondrous.
