Nope! It's the beginning! That's where the water comes from! This is a magnificent vista.
Imagine, when out ancestors left Africa, they went into this? They must have been nuts!

This is a wonderful scene, Fahim. The craggy mountains on the left and right sides work like bookends to frame the center range with its smoother contours.

Fahim,
This is both impressive and beautiful. I sense 4 special rhythms, the sea, the single strike of the coast, those jagged snow laced mountains and then the cloud dusted sky.
One booster to this is the cloud in the center repeating the shape of the mountains.
So relaxing! I so love beauty .................... and this is what you have delivered!

We're in the middle of a hot and dry spell here in the Midwest, Fahim, so this latest color image is quite refreshing. Just an observation; the color image has much less noise than the earlier b&w one. This may have been due to choices made during processing, but is of little consequence.

This is a nicely balanced image compositionally - very pleasing to the eye. I personally wonder if the clouds overpower the image - but that may just be my taste. Well done.

You were correct Asher. It is not a dead end.
Just the beginning.

Fahim,
Hopefully for Aleppo too! What an amazing city. Why do I think of this ancient metropolis right now? Well, the mountains are carved and elevated by major forces. We give thanks to the beauty, but few of us actually live there. The great cities are also made with slow incremental herculean effort. We need to be in awe of that too.
If madmen tried to destroy Mont Blanc or Everest, we'd be outraged. Try even dropping trash in St Moritz or peeing on the sidewalk in Paris! But for Aleppo, we just let it crumble!
I do not want to shift your thread to the political, but remark that we humans have a capacity for selective outrage. This may come from taking for granted the gifts bestowed on us. The scenes you show, Fahim, outlast our views on everything, always so beautiful.
I wish there was some way to have folk look at natural beauty and then have it carry over to what others cultures built with so much human love. In your travel pictures, whether with the humble point and shoot or with the M8, you do show a respect for the efforts of man in his home. Now, I know it's not built into Japanese or German cameras of any level. So how do we also do it?
Asher
