Before Too Dark, a photo from Xinjiang, West

Photographer's Note

A man with 3 camels rush going home over the sanddune of Kumtag desert. One last light of the sunset shines them from the back.
Kumtag desert is about one hour drive from Turpan, one of the old silkroad cities in China that continues as far as Mingshashan near Tunhuang.

Dear JS Lee
that one is a wonderful shot.
I like very much the rays of the sun that come from the bottom to illuminate camels and sand...
Magic shot!!!

Cette photo est une pure merveille !

j'aime la couleur dominante, ainsi que la luminosité sur le sable aux pieds des chameaux

Simple et magnifique

Hello JS, you really are lucky man to travel to all these interesting places. You've taken also some wonderful photos. I wonder why this photo didn't get more attention as it is perfect shot to allow people to dream about far and distance places. Excellent light. Well done. Lucie

Why? Whats that? only 24 points? This image is incredible! Is different! The background light is awesome. The photo is so nicely underexposured and its perfectly lighted. The line that is over the mid is also great! Wow!
