I wanted to add this man-made patchwork to the Google Art board. Even the clear-cut has a strange, Myst-like quality.

Lut desert is unique in the western part for the special terrain called 'Kalut' in the local language. They are, in fact, longitudinal erosions in a sedimantary field in NW to SE direction. I recently passed the road you mentioned. The road continues to the North, which passes very starnge and beautiful erosional patterns.

It is a beautiful area. Other ground-level views would be welcome.

My contribution to an inspiring thread.
Various from my recent travels.
Far-away/close-up and includes:-
Some straight forward, though stunning, views and bold colours.
A few obligitory fractals. I think there's a real irony with this type as the resolutions on GE increase - it could go on forever.
Visual trickery. These are in some respects my favourites and there's such a range:-
- So other-worldy that you have no idea of altitude or oriental you are or what you're looking at.
- False3DReverseThingy. When viewing from above, as I tend to do, sometimes you get a false 3D effect - things come out you when they shouldn't. Dry river basins do this alot - they look like mini-mountain ranges.
- Makes you think of something familiar. Very much down to the viewer these - you either see them or you don't. (Is there a "Famous Faces seen in the landscape" thread, with overlays, yet?).
On that note I'm off to see if I can find any 'Magic Eye' pictures hidden away anywhere - some of those Deserts look promising - hope you enjoy the views.
