[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Even the most harsh landscape on the planet will show you beauty. You only have to stop and look. Good example is this photo taken on the UAE-Oman border near Hatta. The day was hot that January in 2004, the sun was harsh and the distant mountains were shrouded in a dusty haze. We were on the way to Hatta and somewhere in the mountains between Dubai and Hatta we decided to stop the jeep and walk a little bit. Here is the result.

PP-
Cropped, USM and colour adjustments.
The sky was highly over-exposed so I added a slight tint to reduce the glare.

Lovely colours. I like the haze on the horizon. Very different from the sand dune desert I know.

Beautiful picture
I like this color salmon given
for the sunshine against the mountains
and his frame combined a lot with that.
Congratulations, very beautiful

The dry mountains, it looks like you're on the moon!
