The invisible roads Photo

Photographer’s Note

Day VII

The camp was quite close to the road going to Ghat, where we had to catch the plane the day after. It was the last evening...

There were a lot of car tracks... There were a lot of... invisible roads !

I enjoyed these ones a lot : their symmetry was incredibly perfect !

Salut Stephane,
superbe lumière sur ce désert, j'aime bien ta compo mais je trouve qu'il y a trop de ciel. Je me suis permis de la recadrer en format panoramique. J'espere que tu aimeras.

Hi Stephane,

Invisible.......hmm - and maybe confusing which track was leading to the airport :O)

Beautiful light on the sand.....a great place for star-watching, I guess :)

So simple and so nice.

Stephane
This scene reminds me of the Nazca lines in Peru with all the diagonal lines. The scene is also very warm too. I like the copper colour of the sand and the impact of the patterns on the road. I never got the chance to go to Ghat when I was in Libya, but another visit is on the cards for the future.
Cheers
Aubrey

Salut Stéphane,

Incroyable ! Un avant goût de voyage marsien ? En voyant ces traces dans le sable, je pense immédiatement aux 2 rovers qui sillonnent actuellement la planète rouge.
Une magnifique photo sauvage magnifiquement mise en valeur par la lumière ambiante. Bravo !

Cordialement, François

Stéphane, ces traces donnent la profondeur et une harmonie à cette photo. J'aime la lumière rasante et les couleurs chaudes du désert. Je préfère la version originale à cause du bleu du ciel qui est visible.

Hello Stephane,
intéressant ces traces qui filent vers des horizons différents.
Etonnant comme cette région est plane et semble infinie.
Toujours une belle lumière dans ce désert Libyen !

Hi Stephane,
nice view from desert. I like the colours and composition. Pity that not see any man or car from left.
Rgs, Aleksander

It makes you wonder how come they don't get lost. I like the inclusion of the sky as the blue is a wonderful contrast to the orange of the sand.

Bon soir Stephane,
I love the way you portray time and movement here through the inclusion of recent and old vehicle tracks. I like the subtle textures of the sand too. The blown out high lights on the right are not so pleasing to the eye but they do add a symbolic layer because the old and almost hidden tracks leasd to them. Good job.

Hé hé, quand il n'y en a plus, il y en a encore et de très bonnes.
C'est bien composé en utilisant les traces de voiture pour aller vers l'horizon, les couleurs sont chaudes et le contraste ciel desert est très attrayant.
Bravo
Jean Michel

Bonjour Stephane
Bonne perspective sur cette piste qui mêne vers l'inconnu.
Très bonne luminosité en dehors des lueurs arides de la journée.

Hi Stephane,
A simple scene yet we can deduce much of the events that took place here. The tracks suggest the number of trips and the time each of these trips roughly took place. The interesting part is for us to figure out whether the vehicle is coming or going. I enjoyed this and the vast space and colours are exciting. Well done!!! Regards.

Hi Stephane,

I love these open and free spaces. I grew up in the ultra densily populated Netherlands. Pictures of big open clear spaces and clear skies bring a smile upon my face. thanks, Gilbert

giorgimer (17490) 2008-01-20 7:03

WOW Stephane!

this is great! I like a lot the different depth of these tracks, together with the excellent colors and perspectives.

Very well done!

Hello Stephane,
what a great shot of the desert. the leading lines are indeed meaningful in leading the eyes towards the hill far ahead.
It may look simple or easy, but as for me...I would missed the thought of creating the mndane into something useful.
Great composition.

Regards,
Foozi
