Adobe Oasis by Ronald Rael, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

Als Antwort auf Douglas E. Welch • • •The image depicts a scene with a series of mud-brick walls forming a maze-like structure in the foreground. The walls are constructed from small, rounded mud bricks, creating a textured surface. A tall palm tree stands prominently in the center, with its trunk visible and its fronds reaching upwards. The background features a landscape with numerous palm trees, suggesting a warm, arid climate. A few buildings are visible in the distance, blending with the natural surroundings. The sky is partly cloudy, with patches of blue visible. A person is partially visible on the left side of the image, adding a sense of scale to the scene. The overall color palette is earthy, with browns and greens dominating the image.
