]]> The Sinai desert is a place of many colours. The green palms of desert oases; the rich gold wind-rippled peaks of sand dunes.

Rippled edging on the top of a gold sand dune, Sinai Desert, Egypt.

The wasteland that Moses and Jesus wandered has canyons with rocks so rich in reds and pinks they might be painted.

Coloured rocks in reds, pinks and ochre, as bright as if they were painted, Sinai Desert, Egypt.

In the twilight, rocks cluster like old men gossiping or cast shadows like the ruins of ancient cities.

Standing red rocks in the Sinai Desert.

And when the moon rises, the landscape changes yet again.

Moon rising behind rocks amid clouds in the Sinai Desert.

In Sinai you can leap across canyons or walk in the footsteps of Moses. Like the Outback town of Coober Pedy, it’s closer to Tattooine than Earth.

I’ve been working on my photography with an ebook called Getting Out of Auto, the first thing I’ve read that actually explains the relation of ISO, shutter and aperture in a way I can understand. I’m an affiliate, which means if you like the look of it and buy it here, you’ve just bought me a coffee.
