Desert Bond
Deserts of UAE
In the vast deserts of the UAE, I witnessed a remarkable scene unfold. A falconer, dressed in traditional attire, stood against the backdrop of towering sand dunes. His bond with nature was evident as he engaged in a training exercise with his hawk. With precise movements, he twirled a target, and the hawk, a swift and majestic hunter, tracked it with unwavering focus. The desert wind carried the sense of camaraderie between human and bird, an age-old connection that echoed through the dunes. It was a fleeting moment of unity in the wild, a partnership that transcended time and spoke of a shared journey in the arid expanse. Photo © copyright by Rich Voninski.
