The light in this reigon looks like this. With a relatively clear blue sky and full sun, the light reflects off of all these planes and the ground as well (ev 14 2/3 most of the time, light sandy, dusty soil), to make a large reflector. The overall effect is one in which you often have to "squint" to see some detail. This is a "just right" image for me, as it depicts the light well and accentuates the shapes. Nice shot, Ria. tim
