Makhtesh Ramon crater view Photo

Photographer’s Note

Babel Fish translate:

Mitzpe Ramon (Hebrew מצפהרמון) is a town of 5.000 inhabitants (2004) located in the central Negev desert, in Israel, to approximately 85 km in the south of Beer-Sheva.

The name of the city means “the point d' observation of Ramon”, in reference to the situation of the city above the crater of Ramon. Ramon would be a deformation of “Romain”, and would come d' a way which the Romans had built here.

Makhtesh Ramon is the largest crater of the world not resulting d' an impact of meteorite or d' a volcanic activity. Actually, Makhtesh is the result of l' effrondement by erosion d' a 80 km length valley by 8 broad, which updated some 400 meters height anticlines.

Bonjour Vincent!
Tu nous montres une photo vraiment pas quotidienne et - je pense - pleine de bonnes idées! La qualité est technique est bon et la composition est un vrai accroche-regard. Cette vue par la fenêtre géante est très impressionnante et ta note est intéressante. Une contribution vraiment d'après TrekEarth.
Cordialement d'Allemagne froid et brumeux,
Frank

Bonjour Vincent,

J aime beaucoup le point de vue ici. Avec un interieur aux lignes futuristes, on se croirait dans une scene de Star Trek.
Le cadrage exploite bien cette ouverture et l aspect symetrique est joliment cassé par la silhouette de la femme dans le coin.

Yves.

Salut Vincent,

Tres interessant la forme de cette fenetre sur le desert. On a l'impression d'etre dans un film futurist ou peut-etre un science fiction dans une aure planete... Tus a tres bien choisi ton POV et ta compo. La persone additone interet et escale, mais do point de vue compo ele serais encore mieux place a droite.

A+

Bonjour Vincent,
Thanks for visiting my gallery and your nice comments. I enjoy reading it and off course I have to translate it, but this way I'm also learning Francais :)
I really like this shot, and the large version is really nice and worth much attention. This reminded me of the the space ship in movies like Star War as it landed in some desert landscape and gallaxy. Nest time you should ever be here again, you should go in the moring when the light is good, it must fantastic, this one is also good, but think it can be more drammatic if the light is good. Merci beaucoup.
Way
