very idyllic! nice pastel colours and the fence leads the eyes through the picture. Does that fence have any particular purpose? National frontiers for instance....

lovely colors, the fence seems to play in favor of the solitude

Thank you for your nice comments... The fence does in fact serve as a purpose... all the camels that you see in my photos were in fact on one side of this fence (so Klix, these camels are not in Canada! I am actually still in Florida now... ;))

Gorgeous tones, I love the feeling of solitude in this picture and the contrast of the sharp wire with soft sand.
Score 10/10 (from the Score Me! group)

ThePhoenix101 says:

I agree, the soft and the peaceful combined with the sharp hard danger of the barbed wire...fascinating!
Posted 44 months ago. ( permalink )

cwgoodroe says:

The tones are great and the barbed wire really adds to it... reminds me of some set in the movie "DUNE" Great work 9 out of 10.

Eviluting says:

Magnificent work here. Love how soft everything looks with the exception of the barbed wire of course. Can the camels get over that spot on the right, near the foreground?
Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )

cocolinda says:

thank you for the great comments...

@Eviluting: I am not sure if the camels can technically cross over the fence... but they were all grouped and sheltered a bit further below the fence to the left... I guess they move them around everynow and then? Because to the right of the fence, is where the dune bashing in jeeps takes place (loads of fun by the way!)
