This is an astonishing catch, HRV! Even if you hadn't written what you wrote, we would still get the feeling of stillness and calm... This image speaks for itself. Or maybe it's just a speaking silence.

Great angle on the desert here. Iv'e been in places like this many times, and this shot captures the essence of these regions perfectly

A remarkable image, allowing us to see the landscape in an entirely unfamiliar way.

Great shot stressing the loneliness and hostility of the area. I wonder what water has to do with this place. In Dutch the name means literally "bath water", I think the lonely traveler would give all his money for a bath :)
