Silhouetted Tufa Tower Against Evening Sky Oman in in Oman

Silhouetted Tufa Tower Against Evening Sky Oman

by Jennifer Keller

The final blue light of evening washes the horizon while a tufa tower rises from the desert lake shore in deep shadow. The formation stands as a dark, wind-carved silhouette against the fading sky, its rough surface texture hinted at by the thin rim of light tracing its upper edges. Heat haze shimmers across the water, blurring the boundary between the dark earth and the distant air. The cool season air settles over the dry, cracked ground surrounding the water's edge. The tower's jagged profile cuts sharply against the soft gradient of twilight, with the last glow catching only the highest crag where the stone meets the darkening void.
