An Oasis On The Dry Cracked Earth

This picture of dry and cracked earth stretching out as far as the eye can see yields up the image of an Oasis of palm trees and a cool, soothing lake, wavering through the rising waves of heat. This is a stock photo about adversity, challenge and obstacles as well as drought and other environmental problems. It is also a picture of the nature of reality and how what seems to be may not be after all.


Using Photoshop to Create An Oasis Stock Photo

I used Photoshop to create an oasis in this picture of palm trees and water on a dry, cracked expanse of earth. The dry, cracked earth was actually mud in a drained rice paddy I photographed in Myanmar. The Palm trees I photographed in Hawaii and the water was painted in in Photoshop.


Dry Cracked Earth, Drought, And Environmental Conservation

This expanse of dry cracked earth, complete with a mirage of water and palm trees, can be used to advertise or promote environmental causes, water conservation, and responsible custodianship of our natural resources. It speaks to our tendency to see what we want to see rather than the truth, and of the need for reality checks particularly when confronting environmental problems and challenges such drought and famine.
