Mt Sinai

[intrepidphotos]

A dusting of desert snow covers the cold desolate top of Mt Sinai as one looks across the red-granite mountain peaks on the Sinai Peninsula. Also known by the names Mount Horeb and Gabal Musa (the 'Mountain of Moses'), the mountain is considered to be a the likely location of the biblical Mount Sinai. Mount Sinai is mentioned many times both the Bible, and the Quran, particularly in the book of Exodus. According to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition, the biblical Mount Sinai was the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Mt Sinai sits at 2,285 m (7,497 ft) in the St Katherine region of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. The shot was taken using a EOS 300 film camera.

Wonderful photo. Did you visit St Katherines Monastery? I've heard it is very cool.

[intrepidphotos]

I went past it but I did not go though it.

Although there are only rocks, really big rocks, the composing and the color matching of the rocks and the pastel-colored horizon is beautiful ... I like this image @intrepidphotos.

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks

Great composition....snow in the foreground and the warm colored mountains in background. This is an amazing shot.

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks. It is a surreal part of the world.

It really is surreal looking, with beautiful light across the tops. Looks like it was definitely not an easy walk up the mountainside for Moses. The soft colors give beauty to this rugged area.

It is a very rugged area.

[aweber]

Looks otherworldly

If there was no snow, it could be mistaken for a Martian landscape.

[intrepidphotos]

It is a surreal place
