Castle in the sands Photo

Photographer’s Note

Wahiba sands, northern part near the wood lands.
This castle was in the middle of the dunes and appeared to have been recently uncovered by sand after a long period hidden from human sight. It was not on our maps and was surrounded by very light white sand that no car can drive cross(too soft).
Hence its untouched and pure aspect.

Oliver: exceptional landscape for such little attention on TE. Details are super crisp here. Great contrast of sand bricks returning to the desert. Camera? regards, c

Lovely image. And what a wonderful find! I wonder how long it was burried and when it started reappearing.
Great lighting and positioning of the building.I love all the earth tones with the light blue sky.
Well done, thanks for sharing.
