For this week's #FunFridayPhoto I offer you this #biography of the amazing Gertrude Bell. The cover shows her on camel-back in 1921 flanked by Churchill and TE Lawrence. She climbed K2, she worked in British Intelligence in WW1, she spoke Arabic, and traveled the Mesopotamian desert with Bedouins. All in all, a spectacular and remarkable women for her, and all, time.
