Yemen - Special light in Sanaa
Sana, San'a, Sanaa, or Sana'a - capital of Yemen and one of the most facinating in the Arab world with it's unique architecture, bustling souqs, friendly inhabitants and lack of tourists.
Sana’a is one of the ancient Yemen cities dating date back to the Sabean dynasty. The oldest reference to its existence is found in inscriptions dates back to the late the 1st Century AD. The inscriptions also refer to the historical Palace of Ghamdan associated with Salheen Palace in Marib . This suggested that Sana’a was the capital of the Himyrate dynasty at the onset of the 6th century AD when king Yousef Athar Dhu Nawas the last of the Himyarite kings was in power . It was also the capital of the Abyssinian rules and after them the Persians who also made Sana’a their capital.

Great work, you truly knew your subject very well indeed. The light hitting the buildings looks fantastic, the haze of the city life streaming through the pillars and concrete buildings adds a fantastic feel to the shot, Brilliantly planned and well executed. Also an eye for observation.
Great stuff.

A beautiful shot. The overall construction is good, so is the lighting and composition.
studio martin lussier (51 months ago | reply)
A well seen perspective of the cityscape, I must confess that the haze really becomes a success in the background but confuses things in the foreground. That being said, it would be impossible to mitigate it as an atmospheric phenomenon, and so we must take what we can get. The lines and perspective are exceptionally well executed, and I don't think that the composition could really have improved, it is well placed, and the multiple layers of buildings really enhances the depth in the shot whereas otherwise it might have seemed flat. Thank you for sharing this wonderful picture of a part of the world I will likely not have the chance to visit anytime soon. Cheers.

I really like this one. Telephoto flattens the perspective and fog blurs out the background buildings, creating a really beautiful view. I also like the composition of it, it just works.

Great one. Could increase contrast and brighten the building in front a bit to make it stand out more.
