Lever du soleil !!!

This is another beautiful shot taken during a group tour to Lake Zakhir in Al Ain.

Lake Zakher also known as (Lake Tilapia) a man-made lake in the United Arab Emirates, near the border with Oman. It was created from treated waste water that was released onto land, which pushed up groundwater levels and eventually resulted in the development of a lake.

It is almost sunset, and in the middle of rolling, rust-coloured dunes on the outskirts of Al Ain, a beautiful lake shimmers in the early evening light. Migrant birds call to each other as they rest on the reeds, and in the surrounding dunes lizards, snakes, insects and gerbils make their nocturnal appearance. With Jebel Hafeet looming in the distance it is quite a sight, but the lake’s very existence in such an arid sandscape has made it a subject of mystery for some time.

When it all goes heavenly.

Blackness 5.00 a.m.

I set out on an early morning trek to find a location to shoot the milky way. It’ll be another few weeks before the sky gets dark enough again so I knew I had to go shoot. Composite shot, one for the foreground (7 minutes) and one for the sky (10 sec).

Kostanjevica na Krki is a small town in the historic Lower Carniola region of southern Slovenia. The center of the settlement is on an island in the Krka River. It offers romantic views on the Krka river.
