The pictures are taken during my study at KAUST.

Saudi Arabia lies perpetually under the influence of subtropical high pressure systems. The compressed descending air masses form a high-pressure center along the Red Sea coast, creating a climate of year-round heat and aridity.

Yet, to put it another way,

every day brings clear skies, and every day paints the heavens with golden light.

The color grading of the following photos is inspired by Mordor from The Lord of the Rings, Two Towers.

Barad-dûr, Eye of Sauron
