Sunset near Erlian Photo

Photographer’s Note

My last night in China, taken from the train. I arrived at the Mongolian border around 11pm / midnight. As there are no uploads from this part of China, I decided to upload anyway, even though it's only an ordinary sunset. The silhouettes at left appear to be natural gas derricks.

Hi Chris. Recently I´ve seen the film "No country for old men" and this photo, the mood of this photo, reminds me to this picture, although It was taken at the other side of the world. Quite interesting.

Hehehe,
Ordinary sunset maybe for you, but i do not usually see such sunsets here in Istanbul.
The loneliness and tranquility are amazing. I like the minimalist compo and the sky colors. TFS Chris,
Deniz

Hi Chris,
not a very appealing landscape but still a good picture. The colours are great and the holes in the ground (like round footsteps) remember funny enough to the surface of the moon.
Regatrds, gerrit

A great sunset youve captured with interesting colors. I like the footprints in the sand, just visible to the viewer. Well lit.
