About this image
A nocturnal fantasy portrait featuring a woman in a deep blue, flowing gown standing on moonlit sand dunes beneath a star-filled sky and the Milky Way. The ethereal mood, dramatic cape, and rich blue tones create a mystical, cinematic fashion image.
A stunning night-photography shot features a woman in a deep blue flowing gown posing on desert dunes beneath a vivid Milky Way. The luminous galaxy and star-filled sky create a dramatic, celestial mood, with the electric blue fabric contrasting against the dark sand for a striking fashion-astronomy fusion.

I didn't know the Romans invented the midday nap. I hadn't heard the Italians doing sextas. We're close to Mexico here so I probably hear more about Spanish culture instead of Roman because Spain influenced Mexico a lot. I think the Bedoins became famous the movies like Lawrence of Arabia that showed the nomadic style. But I don't think they are the most excellent nomads. Every desert had a nomadic culture because it's the only way to survive finding food in various patches. Australian aborigines were nomadic too. They and Native Americans have more or less settled tho. Bedoins only about 10% are still nomadic. Native Americans were forced to stop being nomads because in the 1800s and early 1900s USA federal government forced them to live on reservations. I think that happened in Australia too. The Bedoins also faced governmental enforced sedentarization. I could never be a nomad. I have too much stuff and I like books. Books are very heavy to travel with.
you're right. most people thought Sahara desert. My image didn't do well because I ddn't do the Sahara desert. I live in the SW USA desert and historically there have been nomadic Native Americans. Latino Americans and cowboys individually often lived a nomadic life but not as a whole cultural groups. Spanish brought over a lot of Asians during their colonizing times. In the 1600s in Mexico city, the Spanish barbers complained that the Chinese barbers were stealing their business and wanted them located away from the town center. I think the Spanish barbers took siestas (afternoon naps) and the Chinese barbers did not. Philipinos were brought in as slaves and many escaped into the Native American tribes. Filipinos taught the tribes how to make vino de coco -- coconut liquor.

You agree because you're intelligent; only a fool would argue with that. Did you like the French aqueduct? Well, they say the best one is in Spain, the Segovia Aqueduct, from the first century AD, and it's still standing. It's the best-preserved Roman civil engineering work on the Iberian Peninsula and runs right through the middle of the city; it's a spectacle in itself. Regarding the bridge I mentioned, of course you can cross it; it's in perfect condition. Not even an atomic bomb could bring it down. As you rightly say, we have a lot to learn today from the engineers of the past with so much planned obsolescence...
I agree with you on that. History already happened and even if some country apologized, it changes nothing. It's much better to focus on problems happening today because it is something you can change or at least try too. Over time your area has seen a lot of civilizations so that is very cool. I drove in Southern France once and saw a Roman aquaduct. They made things to last. Modern builders and architects should study them so we build as long-lasting as they do. The bridge looks great. I read that people can still walk on it. That's pretty aamzing.
I didn't know the Straits were so small. I had picture it as very big. In stories they often play an important part as a landmark. And I had no idea that Spain was so close to the Sahara. I know where Spain is on the map and the Sahara being northern Africa. But I picture Spain as very green with lots of trees. So different than the Sahara. It is surprising that they are so close geographically.

Sure, I imagine they chose those deserts because they're similar to the ones there, so nobody can tell if it was filmed in Spain, El Paso, Texas, Arizona, California, or wherever, and it was cheaper too... The good thing is there aren't any rattlesnakes here, hahaha. Red thunderstorms are more common in the south and the Canary Islands, but they have a harder time reaching the north.
I didn't realize southern Spain also had desert. I thought all of it ws green. I did know some of the famous westerns were filmed in Spain. I didn't really think about the desert part in those movies being real. That's interesting because those movies the desert reminds me of out here. The red dust storm sounds like a scene from mars in 1960s movies.
Nomads are people who move often during the year so don't have a settled place like a house they live in all year round. I think some Mongols still have a nomadic life and live in yurts as they move around to find fresh pastures for their yaks, horses and other livestock.

in Europe... Spain is separated from Africa by the Strait of Gibraltar, which is less than 15 kilometers wide, and then the Sahara. That's why it's better known here than the Mongolian steppe. I think there are still nomadic Eskimos. And I couldn't be one either; I prefer a warm burrow.

No, I suppose production costs aren't what they used to be. Now they make Spanish rubbish... The cemetery from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly still exists and can be visited as a tourist attraction.
