Waves and stones Photo

Photographer’s Note

On a short stop at the Crystal Mountain while on the way to the White Desert, I saw this detail in the sand. I thought it might make it for a pretty naive composition. The light of the setting sun gave the sand some golden colours.

This hill is called Crystal Mountain, as some crystals of quartz (or a stone whose name I've forgotten) continuously goes up to the surface. The landscape on top of it is amazing, as you have a dazzling view over the rest of the surrounding desert. You really feel like you're on Mars when you drive through the Western Desert. It's such a big change with the green Ireland ;o)

I wouldn't call it naive. Looking down to earth can never be naive. A good photographer is not limited to what is straight in front of him, for he has the freedom to look everywhere, from everywhere possible.

Bonjour Clément

Je découvre aujourd'hui ta galerie où il y a vraiment de belles choses... tant au niveau du graphisme que des couleurs, avec des points de vue originaux et bien cadrés. Je choisis de commenter celle-ci pour commencer. Toute simple, sans artifices, sans figurants, sans mouvement et pourtant... C'est une belle célébration de la beauté du monde. Les couleurs en jettent, la composition avec ces cailloux parsemés et les sillons creusés par le vent dans le sable, réussit à donner vie et mouvement à cette nature pas si morte que ça, finalement!
Bravo!
Amicalement,
Marine
