But, for Churchill and many others who followed there was one fine hour every day when the colours of the river and the desert were transformed to reveal a rare, unearthly beauty:4
Just before the sun sets towards the western cliffs a delicious flush brightens and enlivens the landscape. It is as though some titanic artist in an hour of inspiration were retouching the picture, painting in dark, purple shadows among the rocks, strengthening the lights on the sand, gilding and beautifying everything and making the scene live. The river . . . turns from muddy brown to silver grey. The sky from a dull blue deepens into violet in the west. Everything under that magic touch becomes vivid and alive.
