SteemitPhotoChallenge - Egypt: Saharan Sands (2 original works)

in #photography8 years ago

"A main geographic attraction of Farafra is its White Desert (known as Sahara el Beyda, with the word sahara meaning a desert) — a national park of Egypt and 45 km (28 mi) north of the town of Farafra, the main draw of which is its rock type colored from snow-white to cream. It has massive chalk rock formations that are textbook examples of ventifact and which have been created as a result of occasional sandstorm in the area." Wikipedia

excellent quality your photographs

Thank you :)

These are awesome.

Thanks! You have no idea how amazing the trip through the desert was! Once Egypt calms down, I highly recommend an overnight 4x4 trip through the Sahara!

Very nice photos, thank you so much!
Though I would have made these with ISO 100 to avoid the noise, otherwise they are cool and the colours are great!

Yeah, thats the one issue with the 40D, it was pretty damn noisy :(

Nice selection for the challenge
