As the conditions were quite tough the days before, we decided not to climb up to Reinebringen but instead search for a different view. Finally we decided to climb up Männer (450m) with this beautiful sunset pano.

A long exposure of the mighty Transfagarasan road.

The Transfăgărășan (trans [over, across] + Făgăraș) or DN7C, also known as Ceaușescu’s Folly, is a paved mountain road crossing the southern section of the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. It has national-road ranking and is the second-highest paved road in the country after the Transalpina. It starts near the village of Bascov, near Pitești, and stretches 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the crossroad between the DN1 and Sibiu, between the highest peaks in the country, Moldoveanu and Negoiu. The road, built in the early 1970s as a strategic military route, connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia.

I witnessed a stunning sunrise at this great seascape location. This is one of a few images i took that morning. Thanks for having look!

The Mesquite Sand Dunes of Death Valley… Endless sand patterns and giant formations carved by the wind with the occasional explorer appearing in the distance.

I loved it here. As I’ve never shot at a location like this, I found it absolutely amazing and a bit overwhelming with all the compositional options and endless dunes to climb. Even showing up mid-afternoon, I’d find myself running in a panic, near exhaustion still trying to post up in the perfect spot for sunset. Interesting how the light changes so quickly bringing out new patterns and shadows. These conditions were as good as it gets with almost no wind, no footsteps and great light. This is surely one of my favorite places I’ve ever shot and I will be back. exposurescape.com
