Synopsis

Following on from Arctic Light, this book offers an insight into South Arabia and the Swahili Coast, as well as Jordan, Lebanon and Oman. Bellamy draws on history, culture, customs and geography, alongside observations of daily life, shaped by his experience as a watercolour artist and long-time adventurer.

Personal anecdotes and humour run throughout, while artwork created during the author’s expeditions features across the pages, capturing the region’s varied scenery. With 300 colour illustrations, it is particularly suited to readers interested in travel writing and to watercolourists looking to study an artist’s approach to space, atmosphere and place.
