[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I spent 10 days hiking in the Atlas mountains and this is somewhere in the middle. It was my first time mountain climbing and treking and where I got addicted to it.
It was 12 years ago and it was taken with a cheaper automatic Olympus camera, before I got into photographing and bought better cameras.

In spite of the poor quality of this scanned photo I decided to share it with you because I love it, with the layers into the background. The landscape and the atmosphere remind me of some kind of sci-fi or western movie. Some rock formations, like the one in the back, remind me of “La Sagrada Família” church of the architect Gaudi, in Barcelona.
The path was not evident and we had to descend down there, between these two rocks to get to the stream and after a few hours, we got into a very narrow gorgeous gorge.

Where's Clint Eastwood? A marvellous Western style landscape with good sharpness color & lighting. Parabens!

The picture is grainy, but that actually enhances the look and feel of the whole view. It does look like the film set of western. Very nice POV. I like it.

Hi Ricardo,
unusual view. Yes, it's similar as from the western movie landscape. Good composition, great mountains. I like it a lot.

Hi Ricardo
Very good landscape from Marroco, but there is an important problem with the white balance. I made a WS for you to correct this. I hope you like it.

Hola Ricardo,
must have been a great hiking, off the beaten track in a fascinating region. I like the misty atmosphere, giving an even stronger impressing.
Me gusto!

Olá Ricardo,
Por 3 vezes estive em Agadir e passei por isso 6 vezes por cima do Atlas, mas não tenho fotos. Muito simples e um cenário rude e selvajem num bom enquadramento e perspectiva. Gosto também do WS do Jean Pierre. A luminosidade é bastante intensa. Parabéns, bom fim de semana e um abraço amigo,

Fernando

Hej Ricardo,
Very nice landscape with nothing more than sand, rocks and small plants. The composition is good and I like those plants that make some kind of pattern. Well captured and thanks for sharing!
Hilsen,
Lars

reminds me of the old movie...the good, the bad and the ugly.
very appealing compo from A to Z.
how have you been, ric?
