The Roaring Dragon

by Isabel Synnatschke

There is something magic each evening after the sun sets. The deep red sandstone starts to glow and mythical creatures come out and roam the remote desert. This is one of my favorite spots: a cold winter’s day, the roaring dragon, and me.

Equipment: Canon Eos 30D

@all: Thank you!
@Joyce and Su: Southern Nevada, US. I´m not sure if there is an official name for this place up to now. Some call it Little Finland others Hobgoblins Playground or Hobgoblin Valley.

You do beautiful work and I enjoyed some
of your other photos on your website. Especially
night shots of Vienna. Still want to know where
this photo of the day was taken, perhaps Arizona?
