Bubbling desert Photo

Photographer’s Note

Last one from the desert. To the left background, a few km far, it's located the white desert I showed you before. This is still the white desert region, but they call it the Old Desert, because the monoliths have this appearance of being very old. It's amazing to see these changes of landscape while driving through the desert. I always thought that desert means lots of sand and that was all. But I was wrong...

Do you want to try to guess the SCALE again? May be some of you will prefer the WS with the Jeep and I was a bit hesitating, but ended up on choosing this one for main post.

Hi Ricardo,
Superb title!!!! If you were lost in the desert , you would find the way by tracking the bubblessssss :P
Congrats and warm regards,
Zeynep

Olá Ricardo,
Isto é só surpresas! Depois de um deserto branco, agora este. Afinal também há uma zona em Marte chamada Egipto? Até o céu nesta foto não parece do nosso planeta.
Magnífica foto. A do WS também é boa para ver o tamanho destas coisas, mas depois de a ver e ficar esclarecido, prefiro esta.

You are showing me lots of things I didn't know before; these desert landscapes are amazing. I think you made exactly the right choice in which way round you posted this and the WS, as I think the jeep does spoil the image as a scene, but it's great to have it in the WS for scale reference. These "bubbles" are actually smaller than I first supposed. (bubbles or carbuncles? ;D)

Amazing exotic scenery. WS also impressive. Really well done, Ricardo.

paura (39258) 2008-07-10 4:24

Ric,
Incrível como a natureza é rica de formas, cores, cheiros, visuais e tudo o mais. Penso que essa imagem que você nos mostra poderia facilmente passar como de um planeta qualquer, com pouca margem de desconfiança. Belíssimo post, brother.

Abração

Paulo

Really unearthly.
But you show it in a very good way.
Congratulations.

Superb catch !
This landscape is amazing, and the way you caught here is very pleasant.

Hi Ricardo,
You show another fascinating landscape from the desert. All those monoliths look great and create a nice repetition too. I prefer this version, although the WS-photo is also nice to see to get an idea of the scale, like you say. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hi Ricardo
Incredible landscape ! The geologie and the colors are amzing. THis is a very beautifull picture on this place

adores (15755) 2008-07-10 16:48

Olá Ricardo!
Já vi que aproveitaste bem o deserto, e valeu bem a pena. A foto está excelente e a paisagem é mesmo única. As cores estão muito boas e também gosto do Ws com o jeep.

jmdias (19861) 2008-07-10 17:29

ricardo

as duas fotos são muito boas, a do WS mostra o tamanho das "bolhas" e quebra o padrão, aqui temos uma foto mais natural e abstrata. Gosto muito de desertos e regiões áridas, acho que é assim porque nasci num lugar verdejante. O deserto é ao mesmo tempo tão simples e complicado, formas e luz são sempre interessantes. Lindo trabalho

abraços

Olá Ricardo
Mais um notável foto do deserto egipcio. Fabulosa. Parabéns.
Abraço.

Ola Ricardo
Never heard of this place, let alone see any picture! I might be one of the few who liked the WS...but for the plentyful of FG there...if you cropped the FG upto the jeep, IMO, it would have been a better picture. But this is amazing really...what are they called? i have to find out, how these wierd formations are formed. Thanks for sharing with us this unknown, my friend
Best Regards
Angshu

John_F_Kennedy (31994) 2008-07-10 23:31

I like the workshop because I thought first, that these bubbles are only some centimeter. A beautiful shot that you are sharing with us here! Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

Henryk_Bilor (20371) 2008-07-11 1:45

Hello
Another one great landscape from the desert. Impressive structures. I guess they are quite big and I`ll see WS in a moment ;).
Have a nice day.

AiresSantos (42902) 2008-07-11 2:44

Ola Ricardo
Esta formas no deserto são impressionantes. Nao da para perceber a dimensao dos montes rochosos
As cores estao lindas e a definicao excelente
Um abraço e bom fim de semana
Aires

Jonas_Schmitt (3074) 2008-07-11 5:23

Hello Ricardo!
I can really see on your pictures how beautiful and how special the Egyptian landscape is. Again a fantastic new shot, also the Workshop image, that shows a good comparison of the sizes. Fantastic colors, an excellent point of view and you present the landscape on a very nice way, you just show it as it really is, I like that a lot.
Best regards and have a nice day,
Jonas

josepmarin (34099) 2008-07-11 9:11

Olá Ricardo,
lo que vemos en tu foto es un paisaje realmente inédito y espectacular, parece una foto de la sonda Mars Surveyor....
Tiene un fuerte grafismo y unos tonos que la luz y las sombras se encargan de aumentar, en una composición equilibrada y con un atractivo muy especial.
Buen trabajo, tus fotos nos muestran el Egipto menos conocido, y ese es el espíritu TE.
Un abrazo,
Josep

ribeiroantonio (21969) 2008-07-11 13:25

Mas mesmo assim ainda há montes bem mais altos do que aqueles que mostras. Tu estavas num local bastante (???) alto para poder tirar a foto do jeep.
É fantástico ver e saber que existem tantas variedades de "deserto". Aqui na Austrália, aquilo a que eles chamam deserto é essencialmente um chão de pedras grossas. Esitem também dunas estreitas e compridas, e paralelas umas às outras.
A foto está excelente, com uma perspectiva impressionante. Outra coisa interessante é ver a cor do pouco céu que nos mostras. Quase se confunde com a cor do terreno.
António

Scharan (13955) 2008-07-11 15:04

Olá Ricardo

É fantástica esta imagem...esta cor é incrível com uns veios mais claros tornando mais rica a composição. Bela foto...parabéns!

Ola Ricardo,
amazing place. its really interesting. good depth and framing. have a nice weekend.
Burak

stego (22448) 2008-07-11 21:34

Olá Ricardo,
O título está muito bem escolhido, dá mesmo a impressão de serem bolhas numa lama de areia, sendo as partes esbranquiçadas espuma. O efeito visual é fantástico.
Por acaso não tenho nada a ideia de que o deserto é areia e mais areia, pois só vi dunas em três ou quatro sítios, mas nunca tinha visto uma paisagem como esta nem sequer em fotografias.
Um abraço, José.

bantonbuju (48796) 2008-07-11 23:48

you know what?
photographically wise this photo is nothing that could make me shout "wow" but i shouted "wow" for the view...i envy you that trip...
best, j.

papagolf21 (56737) 2008-07-12 0:58

Bonjour, cher Ricardo,
Image étrange que peut délivrer le désert avec ces sortes de tumulus sortis de terre, semblables à des trous de taupe ! Quand l'on voit la jeep à travers le désert, l'on mesure l'importance de ces protubérances.
Une excellente photographie.
Amitiés.
Philippe

jhm (83328) 2008-07-12 1:08

Hello Ricardo,

You did excellent the addition of the WS, indeed we can see the jeep and the scale between the two different matters, good idea.
A desert with almost a game middle of the dessert with the heaps, a dessert have normally a lot sand, but this was my unknown.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Gerrit (36269) 2008-07-12 1:28

Hi Ricardo,
the one without the jeep is absolute stronger. Great landscape in stunning colors.
Regards, Gerrit

PaulVDV (5363) 2008-07-12 1:52

Olá Ricardo,
Very interesting to see the scale in your workshop. We can also know the scale by looking at the tracks of a jeep behind the first monolith on this picture.
Amazing landscape. You used a good POV to show us this desert panorama.
Regards, Paul

Cricri (43738) 2008-07-12 4:02

Hola Ricardo,
Une belle série de ce désert étonnant, il est bien de montrer la taille de ces monticules avec la jeep qui donne l'échelle, qui n'est pas si petites comme je le pensais avant de voir le WS
Have a nice weekend for you
cricri

rajhema (1867) 2008-07-12 7:53

Wow. with the jeep in the WS shows how big these rocks are. They are indeed bigger than the vehicle. I always amazed with the landscape changes and this one truly amazes me.

sacavem (8519) 2008-07-12 10:05

Olá Ricardo,
Mas o que é isto???????????????Foste a outro planeta? Estupendo este PDV e cor.O TE tem esta maravilha de nos mostrar coisas nunca antes vistas,porventura já saiu em revistas mas é-nos impossível absorver tudo, e o TE será um meio complementar.
Um abraço,
Filipe

belido (16857) 2008-07-12 12:14

Olá Ricardo,

é um tema no mínimo interessante. A imagem é uma colírio visual. Muito agradável nos tons suaves e formas interessantes. Parece um outro planeta! Mais uma vez você conseguiu uma boa ilusão ótica, já que dá a impressão de que são muitos grandes. Ótimo trabalho!
Abraço,
Carlos

luisafonso (858) 2008-07-12 14:33

Sim, a escala é fundamental aqui. Aqui na principal, a visão parecia infinita, que se estendia por KMs... Vendo o jipe já não parece tão vasto, mas ainda assim é uma visão fabulosa. Deixa-me mesmo com vontade de visitar o deserto.

bakes888 (18353) 2008-07-13 1:06

Hi Ricardo. This is different! Wonderful view. I love the colours in this scene. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

smarcell (14653) 2008-07-14 0:02

An amazing unreal place. Colors are so weird !
Great

Emile (20125) 2008-07-14 14:20

Hola Ricardo.
Otra excelente foto del desierto, muy interesante por cierto, la verdad es que es impresionante ver estas cosas que no tenemos en nuestro país, tu WS con la presencia del jeep para usarlo de escala esta fantástico.
Las dos fotos para mi son estupendas.
Un fuerte abrazo.

JCG (25749) 2008-07-14 22:18

Hi Ricardo,

Holes of moles would be said as we can see them in the parks of Versailles after the days of rain !!! Landscape really astonishing and quite interesting for the amateurs of geology. Beautiful catch of sight which gives a good impression of depth. The natural colors and the lights are very pleasant.

With all my friendships and a very good day,

Jean-Charles

Bluejeans (33049) 2008-07-16 11:30

Oi amigo ,
Foste visitar algum planeta , que paisagem bem diferente daquilo que conhecemos do Egipto mas é magnifica , muito interessante o solo tem varias cores , gostei muito da foto do Ws ,parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

coco (28122) 2008-08-01 12:00

Hi Ricardo.

I don't know if I prefer with jeep or not. However I like both photos and you made a good work with this photo.

Regards.

Benedict (7062) 2008-09-01 22:12

had the green vegetation been around, this would have been another cholocate hills in the offing! amazing nature's wonder this is. i wonder if termites live in such a place like this becoz i remember from my boyhood termite "houses" look like these....:-). this must be a vast one as what i conclude from this marvelous presentaion!
