Al Ula العلا is the base to access the ancient Nabatean city of Madain Saleh.
Al-Ula town is located in the north-western part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between Al-Madina and Tabuk. Al-Ulah in the past was known as Dydan. It is one of the biggest old urban areas located on the main trade route. Al-Ula used to be a crossroad between the civilizations of India and the south of the Arabian Peninsula and civilizations of Sham (Syria), Egypt and Iraq in the north from the old time until the first century B.C. Legend has it that the sun of this town vanished when Anbatt conquered the north of the Arabian Peninsula and Al-Ula fell to ruins as conquerors took Al Hajar town as their second capital. Here, there is a large number of tombs built and engraved in different engineering shapes such as Dydan, Muaieni, Lehyania, Thomodiah and Nabtiah decorations. One of the Islamic archaeological sites in Al-Ula is the fortress on the top of Al Musa Hill named after the famous Leader Musa Bin Naseer.

This probably is one of the most photographed trees in the world. Therefore, this is far from a unique composition, but some scenes are so epic that you just have to try your hand on them. I hope that my version does this ancient beauty justice!

I saw an interesting pattern of dry lakes on a satellite map. Since it cannot be seen from ground level I took to the air with a drone. The broad valley is the continuation of a system of salt lakes in Western Australia's Wheatbelt, an area that has seen large scale clearing of vegetation and replacement with crops. The Wheatbelt landscape of today is very flat and the ancient river valleys (palaeochannels) have become filled with sediment. Surface drainage into disconnected chains of salt lakes occurs, however they only link up and flow into one another during exceptionally wet years. The photo is a panorama stitched from 8 vertical files.
Milkyway rising above Arch Rock as the moon sets behind me. Home to unique rock formations and harsh desert lansdcape, Joshua tree is one of the ideal places to shoot the night sky, transporting you to ancient times away from the city buzz and light pollution.
Tintern
When the abbey was founded, I don’t expect the Cistercian monks could have ever imagined seeing this site. A 21st century aircraft flying above the ruins of the 12th century Tintern Abbey. 888 years later people are still enjoying the abbey on a daily basis, probably more so that the experience of getting through a modern day airport !!
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
There are a lot of Ancient common lands around Malvern.
When I first arrived here in the early 70's sheep grazed on it and if someone left the cattle grid gates open you could find a sheep mowing the lawn for you. Waking through it today T iwas full of orchids, grasses and wildflowers.
Common Land.
Historic unenclosed land that has changed little since medieval times.

This renowned poet resided for some years at the nearby village of Nether Stowey. In 1797, whilst on a walking tour, Coleridge visited Watchet. On seeing the harbour he was inspired to compose one of ht best known poems in English literature,

There were so many wonderful images to be taken at Deadvlei but this will be my last for awhile. I could not help but love this tree as it shows the the incredible lines and markings of the passing years. Probably hundreds and hundreds of years old the trunk is gnarled but with a beauty that I found truly amazing. It is hard to express ones feelings and the beauty that became so evident with the rising sun. Lighting up the surrounding Dunes with a reddish reflective light that was just awesome. Our world is filled with so many wonderful treasures and truly a privilege to see.
Wishing you an awesome and blessed Saturday !!

Went up to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest with some other photographers this weekend. Had a great time. Especially as it was my first time there combined with my first time shooting the Milky Way.
This is just one single exposure with some subtle light painting. Hope everyone likes it.

Η Αρχαία Μεσσηνία είναι περιοχή της αρχαίας Ελλάδας στον ίδιο χώρο με τον σημερινό νομό Μεσσηνίας. Συνόρευε με την Τριφυλία της Ηλείας, την Αρκαδία και την Λακεδαίμονα.
Messenia or Messinia (Μεσσηνία) was an ancient district of the southwestern Peloponnese more or less overlapping the modern Messenia region of Greece.
Fenghuang also known as Phoenix Town, is arguably the most picturesque town in China.
An ancient town with a main street and stone alleyways snake between houses that are built on stilts.
The Tuojiang River, the Mother River of Fenghuang County, has incredible beauty with wooden houses casting reflections on the water.
It is such a beautiful, interesting place that I fell in love with!
