The quality of light is one of the most important aspects of landscape photography. Late sun backlights mountains and fog in this dramatic scene. The small human silhouette to the right gives the scene both scale and an active sense of viewing. Photograph by Joseph J. Scherschel 意译：这是一幅高质量的风景图片。太阳从背后照亮山脉和云雾呈现戏剧性的景色。小人为侧面影像，这景色给予人主动的判断力。

Bedouin Lookout, Petra, Jordan, 1998. "Lookouts on a ledge, Bedouins watch as a group of tourists admire Al Khazneh (the Treasury), whose function in Nabataean times is still unknown. Spurred by Jordan's peace treaty with Israel, tourism to Petra is up tenfold since 1991, boosting the economy but raising concerns about preservation." 意译：主标题――贝多因人监视哨，Petra，约旦（位于西南亚的国家），1998年。 监视哨设在一个壁架岩石上，贝多因人注视一群旅游者在赞美那（Al Khazneh 国宝）。到底是谁的作品？在（Nabataean）时期到今天依然弄不清楚。约旦和以色列的谈判条约是在装有马刺下的谈判。旅游人到此处观赏不断增多，自1991年后成十倍增加，加速经济的发展但是要提高古迹的保护。
