Photographer’s Note
This image was taken a few years along along the shores of the Dead Sea in Jordan, at the Mövenpick Hotel, just a little after sunset. Because of its unusually high concentration of salt, anyone can float in the Dead Sea easily because of natural buoyancy. The water of the Dead Sea has a greasy feel to it. The water stings cuts, and causes pain if it comes in contact with the eyes. The landform that you see in the background is Israel.

I'm must be amazing to contemplate a sunset as yours while you are floating! Are colours real? are incredible.
Thanks for share.

Very good red gradients. A litle dark on the horizont but the detail of the swimmer is an added value. Thx for share.
