This looks like the old west and not Tunisia. Amazing how other places have that same look that one has associated with the perfect view of another. Much like the Leone films that were filmed in Spain but still have an old west look. The lines of the canyon and train line up very nicely here. And the color of the train and its texture really make it stand out, right back to the farthest car. And it really teases me to imagine what is around the bend in the distance as it draws me to that point. Of course with a blue sky this would look even more impressive and film like but it's still a very good shot. Very sharp, great textures and colors. Great job.
