Photographer's Note
You found Riyadh not so interesting, so let's try with the Hormoz Island.
Hormoz Island (Hurmoz) lies like an oyster shell amidst the waters of the Persian Gulf, covering an area of 41.9 sq. km. Hormoz Island is located to the southeast of Bandar Abbas and lies within 10 nautical miles from it.Hormuz is an island full of wonders. The land of colored soils. Where the redness of its soil and the sea become together. A strange mountain whose soil is used as a kind of spice by the locals! This edible mountain, which is the only edible mountain of the world, is located in Hormuz Island, Iran.
Since rock salt emits a very positive energy, after having spent some of your time in the valley, you will definitely feel happy, so it’s called the valley of energy. (https://www.qeshmvisit.com/blog/hormuz-island/)
In this part of the valley, you can see the wonderful mountains covered with crystalline salts.

Hello Malgo,
I guess Riyadh is not really a very interesting city. It doesn't have the history and culture of Jeddah. This, on the other hand, is very interesting. The rocks are beautiful and the family gathering gives us additional focal-points. The salt columns in the WS have fascinating shapes, but I would have cropped the left side to get rid of the less than half person.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Malgo,
It is a truly strange landscape. It looks as if all these rocks started to melt and then froze again. The family adds plenty of local character. All the details look great especially in bigger size.

Hi Malgo,
The presence of the family is adding life to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the mountains. The colors are beautiful. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo,
One relaxing moment for this family.
Here are the norm still other than our culture.
The two children are a nice addition.
An excellent composition.
Very well done, TFS.

Hello Malgo, three informative pictures that tell me some facts about somewhere that I have never heard about before.
All in sharp focus. I particularly like the close up of the salt columns, as you say, very impressive.
The people in your picture seem quite happy to be having their photo taken.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Malgo,
The rocks and their shapes of the valley look amazing and you captured it in a wonderful light, which created a wonderful play of light and shadow. The family was well included too.

Hello Malgo,
That's handy for having a poick-nick, an edible mountain.
I love the group portrait in the overwelming landscape.
thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Hi Malgo
Intriguing landscape and good picture of the family.
Yes many thousands of Koalas and lots of other animals dead. In NSW alone over 900 homes burnt down. Tonight we have a town meeting about the fire threat (it isn't very far away - we've been living with dense smoke for a month!).
But we had a great Christmas, our first with our grand daughter, Quinn.
Have a great 2020 and what travels are planned for you?
cheers

Hello Malgo,
The rock salt resembles a frozen waterfall. Good sharpness, the Iranian family adds scale and I lie the repetition of the pattern formed by erosion of the bg rocks, resembling organ pipes. Happy New Year!

Hi dear friend Malgorzata
Good shot of these beautiful cliffs. Thanks for sharing pictures of my country Iran. Depth and exposure well done. Wishing you all the best for 2020.

Hi Malgo
Happy New Year to you and your family :) All the best to you and your future travels - which i'm sure will be many!
I love the WS photo of the salt column up close, that is easily a main post :) the family in the photo look so small in comparison. Wonderful post and subject from Iran, I had no idea this existed here. cheers

Hello Malgo,
Three very fine photos from this interesting edible mountain. My favorite is the Impressive Salt Columns. The head and hand with the water bottle can easily be eliminated in that photo if you are using Photoshop. 👍🏻👍🏻
Regards,

Hello, any vegetation can grow in that hostile environment due to the salt. The women wear the traditional black dress during the excursion. Nice view of the rocks. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
