Rocks rocks and more rocks. - stony desert

As far as the eye can see.

Stony deserts differ from sand or dune deserts in that all the sand has generally been blown away to somewhere else to form a dune desert.

This happens when the prevailing winds are always in one direction and never bring the loose sand back.

Far away in the distance a patch of green can be seen with some water. This is from a river that originates elsewhere and flows through the desert on its journey to the sea.
