"Desert Colossus" frames the monumental head sculpture "Hanwu's Majestic Spirit," evoking Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty as it emerges from golden dunes beneath a vast azure sky. Captured on 9 July 2025 with a DJI Air 2S (f/2.8, 1/3000 s), the composition emphasizes scale and texture, juxtaposing the sculpture’s intricate surface with sweeping sands. Warm earth tones and crisp light underscore the convergence of history, artistry, and the natural world.
