DESERT IN BLOOM, WADI RUM

This striking east-facing mountain was located across a valley from our comfortable tented camp in Wadi Rum. Recent rain had brought a floral carpet into bloom. A few minutes after sunrise, I captured this image, the low angle of sunlight emphasising the ripples in foreground sand and imparting rich colours to the mountain beyond.
