Camel Caravan Crossing Alpine Saddle at Sunset

Golden firelight washes the undulating ridges of a high Saudi mountain pass as a line of dromedaries moves across the saddle. The air shimmers with a visible heat haze that blurs the distant peaks, softening the horizon into a pale wash of orange and violet. Long, dark shadows stretch taut across the rocky ground, pointing away from the low sun and showing the steep drop-offs on either side of the trail. The camels move in a single file, their humps silhouetted against the bright sky, while loose sand shifts under their hooves. Fine dust hangs suspended in the warm glow, catching the light in a diffuse cloud that obscures the far end of the path. One stone marker stands near the trail edge, half-buried in the shifting gravel.
