The third installment of Carnival of the Arid will appear here on Wednesday, April 1. That’s a week from tomorrow! You still have plenty of time to submit your desert-themed blog posts by Tuesday the 31 of March, which you can do by leaving a comment here or by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
The canonical description of Carnival of the Arid: Submissions should have something to do with a desert somewhere in the world. (If you’re not sure whether your work is desert-related, check out this definition at Wikipedia, and if you’re still not sure, send it in anyway.) Submissions can be scientific in nature, or history, or travelog. Images are welcome, photographic or otherwise. Discussions of culture and politics are welcome if they’re desert-related. The one restriction, other than geographical, is that — at least when I’m compiling it — paeans to destroying the desert probably won’t make it. (Developers and ORVers take note.) Paeans to preserving or protecting the desert are fine, as are alerts of current pressing issues.
And if you’re so inclined, please alert readers on your own blog or Twitter feed of this coming deadline with a link to this post. The more submissions we receive, the more fun CotA#3 will be!
(For the reference of those of you who missed the first two Cs ot A, you might want to spend a few moments cruising through some of the wonderful submissions in Carnival of the Arid number one and number two.)
My post for CotA#3 is up here.
Hi Chris,
My wife, Leslie Sobel, and I have put together a joint post fo CotA#3 here as she graciously allowed me to post to her blog.
While not “EC” (Ecologically Correct) in this day and age, it is about a long ago day hike with a close friend that was part of a wonderful trip.
