Sunset Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The African sunsets are quick but often very spectacular. They tender us amazing scenery of hues and unique natural phenomena.
I took this picture in the Isalo National Park. There is the fragment of sandstone rock in the left corner.

The Isalo National Park in the South of Madagascar is situated in beautiful landscape, dominated by wildly eroded sandstone massif. The layers of sandstones are cut by deep canyons. The massif is surrounded by the grassy plains.

This is a spectacular photograph and one that catches the sky in all its glory. The silhouette is dramatic and the framing nice and intense. Great work.

Generalnie nie lubię zachodów słońca, bo się ocierają o kicz, ale tu zaintrygowały mnie ostre kształty po lewej. Robi wrażenie.

Generalnie obawiaj±c siê ostrej krytyki jasmisa, nie pokazujê wielu podobnych zdjêæ ;). Jednak te ska³ki, z których prawa przypomina profil twarzy ze szpiczastym nosem, s± ¶wietne. Bardzo ³adnie siê komponuje z nastrojowymi chmurkami.
Pozdrawiam

Cudowne dramatyczne niebo !
Wspania³a kolorystyka i piêknie pod¶wietlone chmury, Henryk ma racjê z t± kamienn± twarz±! jakby patrzy³a na ten krwisty zachód s³oñca i zastanawia³a siê nad tym, co przyniesie przysz³o¶æ...
Super!

Witaj Andrzej! Great burning sky and very peculiar formation - it's one of those faces one can found in nature sometimes. The nose is awesome! Colours are wonderful. Well seen! Thanks and Happy New Year! All the best to you and your family! Chris

amazing! when i was there, i couldn't take my breath for the landscape i saw...did you trek to the canyon or to the "piscine naturelle"?

The sandstone rock silhouette is perfect.
