The sun is slowly approaching the horizon, bathing the vast, desert-like landscape of the Bardenas Reales in Navarre in a warm, golden light. The sky above the scenery takes on soft hues of orange, pink and purple as the last rays of the day illuminate the craggy formations of erosion. In the distance, a barren plain stretches out with angular rocks, bathed in warm earthy tones by the sun. Long shadows appear on the sandy ground, lending the scenery a dramatic depth.
Individual bushes and shrubs stand out as dark silhouettes against the colourful sky. The stillness of the desert landscape is broken by the gentle wind that softly sweeps across the plain and rustles the dry grass. The contrast between the warm glow of the evening light and the shadowy contours of the rocks lends the Bardenas Reales a mystical atmosphere. It is a quiet moment in which nature comes to rest in its raw beauty and the contours of the landscape are characterised by a fascinating interplay of light and shadow.
