Laura Espeland on the shores of the Blue Nile. She appears to be holding a rifle, so it is possible that she has been shooting crocodiles. She used to tell us stories about doing this . On the back of the photo is noted " on the Blue Nile, 100 miles S. of Khartoum" "The Blue Nile is somewhat responsible for the flooding that occurs in Egypt. Two main tributaries originating in Ethiopia come together in The Sudan. Their waters rush into the mainstream and the river levels start to rise in June, reaching their maximum level in Khartoum during early September."
