  1. Oooooooo, (she says with delight) love it!! All black and white! The first words out of my mouth (I usually comment to you verbally before I type something up, lol) was, 'wow, you really DO like black and white don'tya Carlo?' This is the best thing you could have to done for your photos on this site. Even the pics on the right have a sharp contrast. In the corner of my eye I just see the popping gold of the sand. About these new ones, is there a city somewhere or are these nomads in the desert? Why are they sitting up there? What are they doing? What's the words on the rocks? Why would anyone want to deface the beautiful landscape? I'm American, I shouldn't have to ask. There's so many questions one could ask like, do young men in this country work usually or is unemployment the norm? I just wonder if it's like America where a fraction of our young people work and the other part steal or sell drugs. :( sad.

  2. Sorry, I got off track. You don't have to answer those silly questions. The pics are awesome and unusual. May be you'll capture something that will make history someday on your "walk"

  3. lols!...these are nomads having seen city people, come out of their mud houses and try to watch us do out thing!..harmless though, just curious, these photos are in the desert, those vandals love to scribble spray painted words or names or curses, what have you, yes it is sad to see how they deface these gorgeous natural formations, where for thousands of year winds blasted these rocks into shapes only to be destroyed in a minute. Young men in this country, well the natives, or the locals living in rural or desert areas mostly are camel and sheep raisers, which is far better tha nthe city youngsters who were into drag raising, hanging day in and day out with each other in coffee shops and malls, school here is free and unfortunately only few take advantage of it, their king even send them to other countries for college to study provided they need to return home afterwards and repay by working in government institutions, but still few take advantage of it, as rich as this country ise, i hate to say it but i find many are lazy, they rely on their king's subsidies, and if they do work, they cannot accept any thing or any work if it is not a managerial position, even if they did not finish their highschool, and must receive bigger salaries simply because they are from here...it makes me angry at times and cry for unfairness, but that's how it is...i used to, anyway, but i just brush it off nowadays, my photography keeps my mind off these things, work is work, that's why am here for, and my free time is photography, nothing else...say my birthday is coming up...am something something years old! hahahaha thank God!
