- Desert - So Far the Eye Can See -

Sahara the world's largest - the strictest and warmest desert It is an ocean without water - a place of fear blast knuckles on the desert floor Eight nomads on camels shrouded in white cloth - only the eyes are visible How can they find their way in a landscape without trails - no horizon Once again the sun set - the camels will create nearly invisible tracks in the sand The sand dunes are changing during the day Experience the unusual beauty and exotic charm There is so much that amazes and impresses The hot sand is like flour and make the sky yellow misty and foggy solar disk And the air quivers with intense heat - sand glistens in wonderful colors 15.09.2014 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Contest Name : IN THE DESERT Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Deadline: 10/14/2014 - Thank you for my 7th place in the contest -

You have an eye for detail, I enjoyed the scene you painted. However I shouldn't stay too long - being part Irish and VERY pale. Have a good day, my friend!
