Morning Light Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken about an hours drive outside of Axum headed towards Mekele, Ethiopia.

A fine morning and no better place to be than in Ethiopia. Before arriving in Ethiopia, I had a picture of desert, scenes of famine and a bleak landscape. After spending almost a month there I have a picture of grand landscapes, fantastic people and one of, if not my favorite, country I have ever visited.

Some more of my photos from Ethiopia.

Hello John,
Indeed this is a grand landscape !
The different ranges of hills and mountains with the trees on the top and the clouds (fog)in between are shown very well here.
The morning light is fantastic.
Well done, Paul

Hey John,
Wow, impressive landscape, really! I like the pink tones in your picture and expecially the different layers that bring a good sense of depth. The slight mist is a definite plus. On the downside, I think it would have been better to leave some more 'breathing' space at the top. Still..well done!

Yours,

Philippe

Hello John,
This is like a fairy-tale. I like all of the layers and different textures presented by the land and the mountains. Of course, the purple color is great, too! Wonderful DOF and presentation.
