[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture of Mars (called the red planet) was taken using my x15Million teleconverter. It shows vast open areas of Mars and huge, dry and bare rocks. Sandstorms also seem to be very common on this planet. You can even see the traces left by the NASA Mars Exploration Rover, sent there several years ago to explore this planet.

Ok, just kidding, this actually is right on Earth, in the desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan.

Hi Michal,
very unusual place,as you wrote in the note, you have right it looks like Mars.

Vivi

are the colours real or did you add any saturation? It is very interesting really seems like Mars. And what about water? is there any water there:))

Hi Michal
Adding to the unusual landscape, the shape of the 4WD traces and the little dust storm provide really an illusion of an allien world...
Congratulations
Georges
