Photographer's Note
Photo taken while on top of Mt. Sooda, highest point in Saudi Arabia (approx. 7,200ft above sea level), located in Abha, in the Asir region of Saudi Arabia and is considered as the summer capital since it provides a very cool atmosphere. Photo was taken with the Minolta 7Hi, at f/5.6, 15 sec. exposure time, ISO-100, using a tripod, taken at jpeg mode, no post-processing applied.

It looks really calm and peaceful with the yellow lights on the mountain. The blues almost make it look like a mysterious underwaterworld.
Good job!

Hi Jose,
Quite impressive shot with all the mountain contours, clouds and lights. Colours are well in balance. Appearance is slightly soft, I guess it's due to noise filtering? I'd like to know of your postprocessing, and in general people appreciate a describing note here.
Welcome to TE!

Welcome to TE Jose. Quite a surprise view of Saudi, I'd imaged it all flat desert. Perfect time of day for this shot, and well handled low light.

Great photo, congratulations and welcome ! I did not imagine Saudi Arabia like that, so populated - it looks a little bit like a valley in the Alps, in the dark... Amazing !

Hi Jose. A superb night composition with an interesting valley of lights. Not seen before - hope a series follows. TFS. Murray.

This could have been very fascinating, the image quality is poor, the frame unnecessarily elaborate and the "signature" is overwhelming.
