Yemen - Late Afternoon in Shibam

    This photo was taken in Yemen in Unesco site – Shibam, one of the most amazing places I’ve seen. This shot was taken on the way down from the view point where everybody goes to take photos of Shibam from above. It was late afernoon and that made those shadows rather long. I was drawn to this minimalistic composition showing daily life in this rather remote part of the world.

      Because the shadows are being used as shade it fits the challenge perfectly, and yes it makes me want to go.
