Believe me, this is not a made up or composite photo.
We were travelling in Inner Mongolia; in the Resonant Sand Desert.
I love the clouds, the sand dunes and more than anything else, the yellow umbrella that appeared so inviting under the hot desert sun.
That would be a great picture to use in advertising, anything.
Hope this is not snatched away and use for advertising!
Brilliant
Thank you!
Wow, it’s so unreal. If not that you stated it wasn’t a composite photo I would have thought it was out of a movie scene.
yes, the setting was quite movie like!
Hehe, weird thing to see in the middle of the desert.
That’s intentional by design!
Beautiful! Merry Christmas Michael! 😊
Wish you a happy and heathy New Year!
I would love to visit Inner Mongolia ~ what an adventurous trip you must be having. Your photo is beautiful. Love the yellow sand and the deep blue skies.
Glad that you love the photo, the trip was really interesting!
I love this, the umbrella was such a surprise – it made me smile! Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year Michael!
Great to hear from you again! Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy New year to you!
This photo is a fine example of serendipity |ˌserənˈdipitē|
noun
the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way: a fortunate stroke of serendipity | a series of small serendipities.
ORIGIN 1754: coined by Horace Walpole, suggested by The Three Princes of Serendip, the title of a fairy tale in which the heroes “were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of.”
I love to share meanings with you!
Hi, thanks for sharing the meaning of serendipity with me. I don’t think I knew the meaning of it until now. You must have a lot of wisdom too!
stunning!
🙂
Great photo Michael. I can imagine the shade under that umbrella would have been very inviting.
Yes, away from the scorching heat!
amazing shot! 🙂 I recently went for a desert safari and realized and beautifully captivating sand and the sky could be! 🙂
That’s very true, I like the sand dunes and the sky too!
Amazing shot! Any idea how the umbrella got there?
It was placed there purposely as a design and for keeping the sun out for visitors.
