View of a sand dune and rock formation in Egypt's Sinai Desert. The soft sand rises in a sloping line, while the jagged layers of rock behind it stand out sharply against the blue sky. The structure of the rock shows traces of erosion and stratification, in colours ranging from white and cream to reddish-brown.
The composition emphasises the contrast between the flowing shapes of the sand and the layered, massive rock. The play of light and shadow enhances the relief in both sand and rock, while the bright daylight saturates the colours.
The Sinai Desert is a vast area with geological diversity and a characteristic dry climate. This image shows a fragment of that landscape in a moment of silence and emptiness, with only sky, stone and sand as protagonists.
Typical themes in this type of desert landscape are isolation, shape, structure and earthy tones, captured in a composition with lots of open space and a natural balance.
