The sun was here! by Zahraa Al Hassani

I came across this nice place when I was heading to the top of two mountains where a lake is lies between them. According to my first plan, I wanted to go to the place named Sartak, but I pulled over and spend more than 4 hours watching this beautiful view of the sun, setting reflection on the far mountains, and canceled my initial plan! The lighting was set so perfectly to take the picture, and it made me realized that how often we spend maximum efforts and budget to set such lighting with our gears and equipment’s, but never get this amazing setting and lighting outcome like we see from the magnificent creation of Almighty Allah.
