This post is the second in a series of posts about the Gelf ( read United Arab Emirates). The next few photos were shot on the way to and at Al Khateem, about 54 Kms to the east of Abu Dhabi. The desert landscape is an absolute delight to look at and photograph.
The orange sun, the purple flecked sky and the white sand, a fantastic sight.
Stare into the sun for a few seconds, it begins to provide color for the rest of the image.
The distinctive halo around the sun and the rugged/sand covered terrain lend this place a Martian look/feel.
When I first saw the previous and the current image, the first thought that crossed my mind, ellipse and parabola. The sun unarguably is the most dominant feature of the desert landscape, burning it, day after day.
As the sun kept inching closer to the horizon, it's halo went on to become hyperbolic, then a straight line and finally a point before ceasing to exist.
This extremely photogenic camel gives me a big smile and then decides to reward me by trying to lick my camera lens.
The Arabian Night.
