Road to Gharian - a photo on Flickriver

Road to Gharian

            This is a scenic view of the Mediterranean Coastal Plain (Jefara) and the road going up the escarpment that marks the northern edge of the Jebel Nafusah. The Jebel (mountain) rises to an elevation of approximately 1000m and is a block uplift trending approximately E-W and extending into Tunisia. The road is between Tripoli on the coast and Gharyan, which is at the top of the Jebel and about 60km south of Tripoli. The rocks comprising the escarpment are Mesozoic, mainly Cretaceous, if I remember correctly. Gharyan is the home of Berbers, many of whom are troglodytes, as seen in the previous slide.
This photo was taken in January 1963 with a Pentax camera and using 35mm Kodachrome 10 film, scanned at 2400dpi.
