Yemen - Shibam - Gathering in Magic Light

    This photo was taken in Yemen in Unesco site – Shibam, one of the most amazing places I’ve seen. I’ve been wondering around and just before sunset I’ve noticed warm sun rays shining through sand flying in the air. I've captured few wonderful scenes from local life. This gathering of woman hidden in traditional clothing is was one of them.

    No filter was used on this shot and those warm deep colors are created by a sun that was just about to set down.

    Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL, f/8, 0.003 sec (1/320), ISO 200, 200 mm
