Tank Girl 2 of 2 (Jordan), circa 1970

Taken in 1970, these are two pictures around the destroyed artillery track. We were traveling in Israel from the Dead Sea toward Jericho when we came on this relic of the 1967 war. Coming from RVN (South Vietnam), this was a familiar sight for me, but others were intrigued so we stopped and explored. It was hot and she was still in her bathing suit so I just snapped off a couple of pictures. I suppose it’s not just every day you see a girl in a bikini in the desert by a wrecked gun…
