sand hikers

A big arc in the foreground, flat terrain in the midground, and a sea of arcs in the background, with a line of trees connecting fore and backgrounds. Well captured light and detail, too. The tourist (for such I take them to be) add tension. All of this makes the view easy to take in (or so I believe) and makes the view striking. Well spotted and captured.

Oh, yes, we were all doing the tourist thing. I soon slipped and sat down, getting hip pockets full of sand. For several reasons I decided to pack it in and strode down the steeply-angled side and hiked back to the car. As luck would have it, doing that, I got a good look at a black-backed jackal - picture of him later.

And thank you for telling me why I like this picture! I just knew I rather like it.
