Taijitu (Yin and Yang)
Friday, 29th September 2006 by Alex Turnbull
The Taijitu is far better known by the name of the principle which it represents, Yin and Yang - a concept originating in ancient China which describes all things as being composed of two opposing but complementary forces. From Wikipedia:
One cannot exist without the other. For example, day cannot exist without night. Light cannot exist without darkness.
How fitting that it should appear, as if by magic, here in a pool of water on the edge of the Saharan desert.
Thanks to Carlos da Costa F.

Very cool. Like finding Jesus in my toast!
Cool sight.
BTW: I think no other website has given as much attention to the Western Sahara as you guys.
I would like to stand up and proudly take some of the credit for the Western Sahara focus of this website…..and I do so in the name of Saint Ex. 🙂
I’ve said this before but… I bet the GoogleEarth directer is kicking himself for having computers with photoshop installed in the offices.
That’s pretty amazing! What causes the dark area? Seaweed or oil, perhaps?
Presumably simply a build up of sediment. 🙂
YEAAA IM FAMOUS BITCHES. Thanks for posting it, or tanks me for pointing it out. Anyways we noth need a pat in the back.
Anyone has an idea of what’s this? https://www.googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=k&hl=en&ll=23.908183,-15.783904&z=18 Seems like an oil refinery or something like this… just north of the cool ying-yang lagoon
you could get pretty fast on those roads.
