atlas, a photo from Marrakech, South

Photographer's Note

The road that leads through the high Atlas to Marrakech (R203) is on of the most beautiful of the country. Coming from Aoulouz or Taroudant the first 36 km are going up to the Tizi 'n Test (2100 m) and than it goes down down down and every corner is another place to stop and take a picture.

Hello Gerrit,
I like the soft colours and the depth to this landscape. The cloud gives lovely atmosphere as it hangs over the mountains.
Kind Regards, Ann

hi gerrit,
you have captured the grandeur of tis landscape perfectly with your composition. the froeground vegetation provides a good lead in to the scene. the layers of mountians are spectacular. the light and shade really show off the textures on the mountains very well. and all of this under a quite dramatic and interesting sky with the clouds moving across the sky.
regards,
brian

Hello Gerrit,
This is clearly a road where you should have plenty of time and your own vehicle, if you have views like this behind every bend. Travelling by public transport it's usually "there was another photo I couldn't take, and there's another one, and another one...".
This view is great, showing rugged, eroded hills similar to those all over North Africa and the Middle East. The colours seem to change from one hillside to another, and possibly they all change every minute along with the light, depending on the clouds.
Very well captured.
Regards,
Gert

Bonjour Gerrit,

J'aime beaucoup ce paysage de rocs et de verdure qui se bat pour sa survie. Les nuages apportent une luminosité très spéciale à l'ensemble.

Joyeuses Pâques

Hi Guerrit
Very nice view with an interesting dramatic sky with the presence of sunlights.
Misty veil on the far background.
Lovely place who looks like Sinaï mount in Egypt.
Best regards
