Northern Africa And The Vast Libyan Desert. Acrylic Tray
February 5, 2021 - Highly oblique view of Northern Africa and the vast Libyan Desert stretches toward the Mediterranean Sea, which itself fades into the horizon of this photograph. The burnt reds and oranges of the desert and the dark-toned mountains and plateaus contrast sharply with the bright blues of the sea and horizon; all stand out against the deep black of space. From this vantage point, Earth looks otherworldly. The Libyan Desert, part of the larger Sahara Desert, is often cited as a Mars analogue, an area of Earth that has similar features to the Red Planet. It is the most arid part of the Sahara, and mostly uninhabited. The featured landscape is a mosaic of windswept dunes and darker sandstone plateaus making up the Fezzan region of Libya.
