This photo is from the Wadi Feynan desert area in Jordan. This is near a nature preserve, and is such stark contrast to where I live that I decided I really liked the picture. I got a laugh however, when I showed this to a friend from India, who grew up in an area that looked pretty much like this - he couldn't understand my fascination with the image ;-) For me, I loved the fact that the tree is hiding two camels in it, and I liked the touch of sunset yellow in the background over the hills. For him, it was too much like his home.
