The Mahajah Arch, also known as Jabal Mahjah, is a remote sandstone formation in the Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia. Wind and rain have sculpted magnificent arches rising nearly 40 meters high, while ancient carvings of camels, horses, and geometric patterns mark the lower rocks — silent traces of those who once passed through this desert. It is a dream destination for photographers.
It was early afternoon when we set out toward the Arch. Even with three SUVs, the journey across the desert proved far more challenging than we had expected. On the way, two of our three vehicles became stuck in the deep sand. We tried everything — digging, pushing, adjusting the tires — but every attempt only caused the cars to sink deeper. Endless desert surrounded us. No signal. No help in sight. As the sun began to lower, desperation quietly crept in.
Then, as if sent by fate, a group of local Saudi people appeared. They were driving back after visiting the Mahajah Arch themselves. The moment they saw our situation, they stopped and immediately began helping us. They worked tirelessly, digging and pushing alongside us. But the sand had swallowed our vehicles too deeply, and their first attempts were unsuccessful.
While working, they learned that we were photographers hoping to capture the Arch before sunset. Without a second thought, three members of their group offered to drive us to the Arch so we could catch the last golden light, while the others stayed behind to continue rescuing our cars. Their generosity left us speechless and deeply moved.
As the sun dipped toward the horizon, we finally stood before the magnificent Arch, capturing the images we had dreamed of — knowing that strangers were working in the sand for us.
After sunset, once our cars were finally freed, the group escorted us all the way to the highway intersection to ensure we were safely on our way home. It was already 10 p.m. Before parting, four members of their group began dancing and singing in the desert night, filling the air with joy and laughter. Under the vast sky, surrounded by sand and stars, their happiness was contagious.
We struggled to hold back tears, unable to find words strong enough to express our gratitude and respect. What began as a moment of fear and helplessness became a powerful reminder of human kindness.
It was more than a photography trip. It was an unforgettable experience at the Mahajah Arch — one that we will carry in our hearts forever.

The Serra Cafema camp located on the banks of the Kunene River, is one of the most remote camps in southern Africa - Hartmann's Valley, Namibia.

The trees of planet Earth – recently estimated to number three trillion in total – are both environmental and economic resources, and require careful stewardship.
“We estimate 20% of global forest resources are currently going to waste as they are harvested,” explains Enda Keene, CEO of Irish company Treemetrics.
“What Treemetrics aims to deliver is more wood from fewer trees, through a complete end-to-end forest management system. It combines forest mapping, assessment and valuing with decision-making tools for harvest planning as well as real-time monitoring of the cutting and collecting process.”
Treemetrics developed a project in collaboration with ESA’s Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) programme’s Integrated Applications Promotion to integrate satellite communications into its system, enabling managers to monitor their equipment and track harvesting as it happens, even from remote forest locations.
The company can perform forest mapping through aerial and drone photography and ‘laser radar’ lidar, as well as satellite Earth observation – using missions including ESA’s Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2.
These maps are given a third dimension through ‘ground truthing’. Laser scanners perform a 360-degree survey at regular intervals to measure the straightness and health of trees – accurately estimating their quality as logs in advance of them being logged.
Mr Keene adds: “We are very grateful for the great technical, financial and business planning support we received through ESA’s IAP, which enabled the creation of a world class product for the global forest industry.”
The company’s customers to date include state forest agencies in 26 countries, as well as private forest owners and government agencies.

In the remote village of Sary Mogol, near Pik Lenin and the Tajik border, in the south of Kyrgystan. Sary Mogol is a village of around 2000 people, situated on a wide plateau at 3,200m above sea level. The spectacular Alay range, 5,544m, rises like a wall of snow in front of it.

One of my favorite beaches near my home town, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is in a remote-ish area. Not many visitors there as compared to the nearby touristy Lawrencetown Beach.
