Dolerite colored the black desert
Sahara Sod is located just north of the White Desert, 50 km south of the Bawati Oasis. Its edge is bordered by mountains that, long ago, ejected a black volcanic mass called dolerite, which forms black rocks.
Thanks to their weathering, the original yellow sand of the desert is covered with a layer of black dust and stones. Some parts of the Black Desert, especially the places covered with conical hills, resemble volcanic scenery.
The highest mountain in the Black Desert is English Mountain, from which there is an interesting view of the surroundings. Gebel az-zuqaq is also a well-known mountain, mainly due to the red, orange and yellow rocks.
The Black Desert ends with a small mountain of pyramidal shape and volcanic origin at the oasis Bahriya - Gebel Gala Siwa. It used to be a lookout point for caravans coming from the Siwa oasis.
The Valley of Agabat is deep within the white desert.
I had to be there to feel the out-worldly beauty of the place. Millions of years ago, the place used to be under the sea. Over the years, unique rock formations of limestone, chalk (and maybe sand) have developed. When I stood atop the small rock cliff in one of the valleys and the valley with the rock formation unfolded before me, and there was not a single trace of another living being in entire neighborhood, I found a unique moment of peace and contentment.
Don't miss it!

A beautiful morning in Austria
Kurt Vonnegut - "Why me? That’s a very Earthling question to ask...why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. Have you ever seen bugs trapped in amber? Yes. Well here we are...trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why."
A pyramid-shaped mountain that is a lookout.
One of the beautiful attractions of the Black Desert is Pyramid Mountain, a relief form that shoot up from the ground much like a pyramids out of the desert. The mountain has symmetrical sides and a pointed peak.
This natural pyramid is just a few kilometers away from Bahariya Oasis. Locals call it Magic Mountain because of the way the light plays on the texture and material of the mountain during the different hours of the day. The golden colour of this rock is very attractive, especially in the later afternoon sun.

Deep in the heart of Namibia’s Namib Desert, Deadvlei stands as a surreal masterpiece. The stark contrast of skeletal trees against the towering red dunes creates an eerie, yet breathtaking landscape. A place where time stands still, and nature’s artistry is on full display.
An inspirational and typically British piece of street art that was located opposite the National Gallery just down from Leicester Square in the summer by artist Nathan Bowen.
Tatana is one of the Amur tiger cubs at Colchester Zoo and it has been amazing to watch her and her 2 brothers grow. As always they are intensely inquisitive and always willing to strike a pose for the camera!
A breathtaking landscape of Tenerife, where vibrant green cacti thrive on rugged volcanic terrain. The contrast between the dark lava rocks, lush vegetation, and dramatic clouds creates a scene that captures the raw beauty of the Canary Islands.
Just tinkering around with the double exposure setting on my camera whilst out for my lockdown walk.
