Quiver Tree Hills, Kanaan Retreat, May 2024, Namibia
I found a bunch of quiver trees on top of the mountain and it wasn't an easy task to climb closer to the them. Despite the big stones and the danger of venomous species like snakes and scorpions hiding under the stones I wanted to reach one of the trees anyway. It was growing on the steep slope so I had some difficulties to level my tripod and the gear. But for the sake of the composition I had to do this. It was just a perfect moment when Orion was about to set and the arch stretches all the way to the queen of the southern sky - Gum Nebula.
As a mountaineer and hiker not a big deal to arrive at this so famous spot world wide.But the magic is the sunset there.Stunning view always in every single weather condition but all changes when the first rays comes around and hits the uncountable mountain peaks.A beautiful calmness and peace and a bunch of creepy feeling also ,looking in the distance seeing the play of light and shadow.Leaving this point and relaxing near by with a small breakfast wich I brought from home.A really unique mountain range and formation...wich is spread out in all the region here...typical Dolomites!
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
