the last living soul, a photo from Al Jumayliyah, North

Photographer's Note

in a lonely place

---

Here's something else again
from the desert of Qatar
scorching heat under a merciless sun
no where really, yet somebody's living there
there must be somebody living there
- or is there?

---

This picture was taken on our off-road drive in western Qatar.
Outside temperatures went above 50°C.
Inside: aircon.

Only got out of the car for 2 reasons:
1. to check the possibility of a road
2. to take a picture (like this one)

Yes, it's an addiction.

Hello Benny,

very good high key BW photo, just right to support the mood of a lonely place, hostile to life normally.

At least in this trailer there is satellite TV :-)

TFS, best regards, F.

Bonjour Benny
Très bien vu d'avoir réalisé l'image de cette caravane en B&W.J'aime aussi ce choix de tonalités claires qui donnent du caractère à cette image.
Bonne après-midi
Amicalement

Hello Benny,
also from the B & W it is clear that there must have been hellishly hot!
I do not think you can live in temperatures above 50 ° C fail to be locked with the air conditioning.
Bravo for the courage to go out and take pictures!
Have a nice day

Hi Ben,

This looks like something from science fiction or a movie set up!

I love it it has the "je ne sais quois!".

Regards

Hello Benny. A scene from an old movie. Here, the viewer's imagination run wild. So we invent us a story about the picture. A really interesting and subtle photo, suitable for an exhibition. Well seen and presented. Rgds, Wolfgang.
