1.   For a while it looks like the red earth, green vegetation and gentle hills of Sedona.

2.   Outside, the sun beat down on the red baked earth of Provence.

3.   Another site, known as Crvena Zemlja, or red earth, has already given up bones and clothing.

4.   Around Cu Chi, all human life had taken cover in an increasingly elaborate tunnel system deep in the hard red earth.

5.   Disciplined insect convoys cross the red earth, pieces of leaf poised above each like tiny sails.

6.   Feverish men shoveled red earth onto the corpse and African chants, and Muslim prayers mingled with the wailing of the women in the heaving crowd.

7.   Football, cheese grits and red earth under the fingernails make an Oklahoman happy.

8.   I saw the feverishly shoveled red earth falling into the grave.

9.   It then passes expanses of red earth flattened for development, gangs of construction workers putting in a Sunday shift and village streets packed with motorbikes.
