Persian King
By The River Of Babylon

This image reminds of a "Rivers of Babylon" by group called Boney M. Of course this river doesn't even come close in size to mighty Tigris and Euphrates (Rivers of Babylon in Iraq).
what do you think? does it remind you of the same song?

i dont think that this river compares to the Tigris and Euphrates, but i do think that this is a nice image.

@Rags: I know. I just wanted to compare it to that in my small world
Mandy from South Africa
Definitely not as grand as the Tigris or Euphrates, but as Rags said lovely image!!!

A nice little stream, but you did put the song in my brain...
P.S.: I'll be away till Nov.18 with no internet access, so I won't be able to visit your blog, but of course the granby.aminus3 blog will be running normally, also my friends from our blog will try to take over some of the communications.

It looks more like a road than a river. Great shot as always!

@amy: As I said to Lissa, body of water appears black in 700-950 nm range

Noooo, you gone and stuck that song in my head, I won't get any sleep tonight, it will just go round and round in my brain...aaahhhhh

lol :) just read Richard’s comment here. soooo humourous!! :)
This is nothing less than enrapturing, dear friend. Incredible IR work once again. This amazing river actually looks the embodiment of tranquility to me. And although I must agree it doesn’t appear to be Tigris or Euphrates, it does indeed remind me of this song. I happen to like ‘Rivers of Babylon’! :) (I also happen to like Boney M’s ‘Mary’s Boy Child/Oh my Lord’ as well, actually :) - ok, ok, shan’t get everyone started again with the tune in their head ;) ) . Thank you so much for sharing this, dear Amir. It’s really really brightened my very very long day. :)

Awesome effect! I think it could look a little like a black-topped road, instead of a river:)

I like the 'design element' in this pic. A nice art shot.
