I was visiting the Arabian Peninsula and found myself at the border between Oman and Abu Dhabi (one of the United Arab Emirates). It was evening. The light was perfect. This set of photos was a must. Only one glitch: in the immensity of that desert, it was hard to point the camera to a stretch of sand that was not littered with plastic bags. Although I managed to accomplish my task, it was very sad that even in this remote desert mankind has managed to let pollution overrun nature.
