Image took from a small boat during a cruise in the southern Mediterranean Sea.

The Gulf of Sidra is a body of water in the Mediterranean Sea of the northern coast of Libya; it is also known as Gulf of Sirte.
From time to time, Libya has asserted that the entire gulf is Libyan territory, though other countries hold to the international standard of a 12-mile (22.2 km) territorial limit from the country's shore.

Satellite of love


Satellite's gone
Up to the skies
Thing like that drive me
Out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on tv
Satellite of love

Satellite of love
Satellite of
Satellite's gone
Way up to mars
Soon it will be filled
With parking cars
I watch it for a little while
I love to watch things on tv

Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of

I've been told that you've been bold
With harry, mark and john
Monday, tuesday, wednesday to thursday
With harry, mark and john
Satellite's gone
Up to the skies
Thing like that drive me
Out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on tv

Ciao Paolo,
il golfo della Sirte! (anzi, il tramonto sulla Sirte, però qualche 'montagna' la intravedo anche qui...)
Eccezionali i rossi nel cielo, si vede che l'aria non contiene molta umidità. Sembra una delle foto che la NASA ci ha trasmesso da marte... non è che sei stato anche lì, vero ??!! ;D))
Scherzi a parte, mi incuriosisce sapere se il viaggio (recente, la foto è del 2004) è stato semplice e senza problemi, o se si devono prendere accorgimenti sul posto per circolare ad es. a fare foto!
Thanks a lot!
Giorgio

Paolo,

you are now painting pictures with your lens. The softness of this photo allows the colors to sort of blend in a viscouse soup. Looks like melted amber. Great, great work.

Wonderful sunset colours and I like the way you have composed it to emphasise the diagonals of the clouds,
Kath

Good morning PAolo:


Amazing mix of powerful colors.
Now we can appreciate better the nature magic with this picture.


TFS
hugs
alejandro

Ciao Paolo,
I like here the good use of the vertical framing to show a wide range of setting sun color reflections on the clouds, soft and nice !
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

Hi Paolo,

Great shot,
nice strong colours. Good silhouette too.
Well done!

Hi Paolo
nice picture, with great colors, znd good note (i don't know the song) i would have prefered "under a blood red sky" - U2 album.
bye
loic

Warm colortone and the diagonal clouds with all the gradiant colors and texturing makes this shot very appealing, well done Paolo

Always a pleasure Paolo to surf on your gallery, it's like opening the map of the world, choose a country and enjoy :) You've visit so much countries !
Here is on i love from lybia, that i'd like to discover, the lybian desert, sure it's wonderful, and when i see pics like that, i would take a plane tomorrow if i could :)
Congratulations Paolo, as always
