Petra Wildflowers, Petra, Jordan, 1998

Wildflowers bloom in front of the rose-colored sandstone that makes up Petra. An ancient city that welcomed caravans from Arabia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans, who ruled this part of the Middle East for more than four centuries.
