Description

Namibia 2010 Don't you think the rock in the foreground resembles the Scream movies mask? I thought so! Captured in the Namib desert by the abandoned rosequartz mine. The very top of the hill behind my brother is pure quartz and have featured in a previous upload! Thank you for your awesome support in comments, favs and birthday wishes via sitemail for my "Four" upload yesterday - a tribute to Kayla's birthday! Stay well! Hugs Carin xx

Stark lighting effects really pop out the awesome cragginess (is that a word?), texture and danger of what you charitably term a hill, Carin. I think it looks like a massive pile of ancient dinosaur bones. That's definitely a humongous skull at the bottom. BTW, wonderful color and contrast in this one, young lady.

An excellent image, it does look like the mask. I am familiar with the movie you mentioned although I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I think there are a total of three of them now. I wish they'd stop screaming already.

It certainly looks like a ghoul. Some of those rocks look like volcanic lava leftovers. Your brother sure does help out with the scale and perspective. Fantastic capture with that blue sky. Dana

I envy you for being so close to your brother. If I tried to take a photo of him, he'd throw a rock at me. :-) The pov on this really gives great depth to the shot.

Oh, it really is Edvard Munch's Scream! Awesome for you to observe this!

Edvard Munch once described his painting "The Scream" as "the enormous, infinite scream of nature." A rather grim personal vision, but Munch was like that from time to time. The skull rock reminds me of the figure in his painting "The Scream" and that's what immediately drew me in. Funny, I have seen the "Scream" movie mask and in a lot of ways, it bears an uncanny resemblance to the pronounced skull figure in Munch's painting, and your picture makes me think that Munch might have visited this rock (although he didn't. At least not that I know of.) This is amazingly well seen and as always, perfectly presented. I love this!
