A "town" in the middle of the desert somewhere in Kuwait. Note that the apparent "soft" focus isn't due to either soft focus or motion (we did stop the car for this shot) but due to heat waves coming off the sand and dust/sand blowing.
I realize it's not DPC-pretty, but it's different! Gotta give it that.

Never again will I complain about living in a small town lol. I love the metal "trees". I bet fall is gorgeous there lol. Very interesting perspective Deb.
amazing place you've photographed here .. those structures look like weird aliens & they fit in so well in this alien landscape and the buildings .. very much a day of the triffids feel to me .. and yes very different .. are those birds or something on all the wires ??.. and i mean ALL the wires .. probably not .. they're probably transformers or something electrical .. :)
another great shot Deb. I can just feel the sand, make my beard feel grity just looking at it.
I really appreciate all you are doing for us over there and love the photos you are posting.
I think you nailed the perfect rural and urban landscape photograph Deb! Ewww, powerpoles...you defintely made something that is usually thought of as ugly and intrusive very interesting in this photograph.
This should have scored at least a six. It is original. Who says urban has to be about sky scrapers. Urban is vastly different across the globe. This is simplly a superb photo.
Awesome reality Deb, this really does portray Urban landscape, I am surprised it did not finish higher. The towers are well photographed and dwarf the town by thier hight..well done.
The low dust cloud and slight ridge between the town and the power grid really add to their sense of motion. I really liked this shot. You might have cropped the power lines on the right, and brought the left side in a bit to keep the rest balanced.
You know, I did think about cropping the right side to get rid of the partial towers... but it was already uploaded to the site, and to change it required working on the laptop, transferring to thumbdrive, putting on the work desktop, then hoping for a good connectivity day. Besides, I decided I liked it a bit unbalanced. :-)
