Kylie Greenan's Next Challenge... "MY Special Place" Friday 7th November. Maybe it is the place you live, a room you love, a place you often go... [or somewhere special you have been] it could be somewhere you love to be, or a place that is "your space" and that means something to you.
"Mon endroit préféré" le vendredi 7 Novembre
Cela peut être l'endroit où vous vivez, une pièce que vous aimez, un endroit où vous allez, quelque part où vous aimez être... un endroit qui est "votre endroit", qui signifie quelque chose pour vous".

Nice and original camp in the desert. The first hut seems to have a decreasing moon drawn on the roof. Harmony of colors.

A good exemple of an harmonious architecture well integrated in the environement; But in the desert nothing better than to sleep in the open doors, a marvellous experience....

Le Wadi Rum offre de multiples contrastes, c'est un des plus beaux déserts que j'ai vus. Superbe composition avec ces étranges petites maisons d'ocre

Welcome back DJ! I would like to stay in one of those huts! Beautiful shot!

Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Fascinating. The huts seem so much like a natural part of the landscape. The defined "walkways" and "property lines" are particularly interesting since there is no difference between the landscape and the walkway, like a paved walk or gardens and grass. Makes me wonder why the delineation with the curbing.

DJ those colours together are amazing, the blue in the sky is magnificent as are these huts... are they made of mud and sticks? Totally cool, I would love to camp out in one of these, what a great experience and an awesome capture.

Welcome back and with a great picture too. This area appears to be at a high elevation. Interesting how these huts are constructed especially the angle of the roof. Like the perspective and the tones of this image, excellent work.
