Leena's Photoblog
A CONTRAST
Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 3 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
between photos and views of yesterday and today ( and a clearness too, I am afraid, as an apology - it`s scanned :)
I took this photo from a silent and peaceful landscape of Petra, Jordan.
We visited there over 3 years ago and I can tell, it was worth the visit.
You can read about Petra`s interesting history and geography from Wikipedia`s page HERE.
On December 6, 1985 Petra was designated a World Heritage Site.
Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

Its lovely Leena. I love the difference between the blue in the fore and background and the green in the middle. Lots of lovely lines to take your eye around the photo

Looks a bit like the southwestern United States. I didn't know that some of Jordan's terrain was like that/ Hmmmm.

Many thanks again for your visits and comments!
And Sue, Petra is so much nearer us than you, you have there Colorado canyon, where I have always wanted to go :)
You all have so fine pictures to look at and the time is so limited.
And when some of them is this Cooliris, I want look at all pictures through it. It shows them as big as PC`s screen is.
Good evening and night to you!
