Indeed...
And this "wind from the desert" does create art
the only way mother nature can,
sculpting with love and through time...
The keen eye of Mostafa captures these beauties
in places very few of us can ever go visit.
Often, it makes me wish i could just pack....and go.
Art...by mother nature and the fine observants that capture its magnificence.

Here i wanted to honour two fabulous artists.
Father and son.

This amazing shot was taken by the father, Mostafa Moftah, from the desert, in Egypt.
The superb drawing is from his son, Mohamad Moftah, as creative as his father.
It is obvious, talent "runs" in the family and they both are inspired artist
both touching me deeply.

They have a magical way of expressing their art
and i wanted to share this with you all
by "mixing together" two separate images they individually produced.

You can enjoy both their multiple talents through their own websites at:

I hope you both like what you do to me and how i can
translate this with 2 of your images that i joined to give a third dimension.
Thank You for being who you are...
And You, the reader, You might be next ;)

Yardang,
large area of soft, poorly consolidated rock and bedrock surfaces that have been extensively grooved, fluted, and pitted by wind erosion. The rock is eroded into alternating ridges and furrows essentially parallel to the dominant wind direction. The relief may range from one to several metres, and there may be unconnected hollows and other irregular shapes. Yardangs occur in various deserts of the world including the Turkistan and the Mojave deserts
