Algerian Arch Angels VI
Two months ago I was Highly Commended in the Travel Photographer Of The Year Awards for a series of images that I shot in Algeria.
This is the sixth image from that series. The first image is here, as well as some background info.
I have photographed so many arches in Algeria and Libya, that I could continue to post a new image every day for the rest of the year - but don't worry, I won't. I'm well aware that this is something I really like doing myself, but that not many people share my obsession.
Part of the problem is the obvious lack of thermonuclear skies in the desert. Most of the year, the sky will be either completely blue, or, if you're unlucky, super hazy and almost white. Colorful sunrises and sunsets are virtually non-existent - the sun simply rises and sets without much drama.
One more to go, and then I'll stop - I promise.
