Location
This photo was taken in September in Xinjiang, China during one of my bike trips. We were heading to Baiyiwuxiang , south west of Urumuji, the capital of Xinjiang to try see the migrating swans .Time
It was around noon, usually not the best hour for photos but we were so far north , it did not really matter .Lighting
The scene just looked beautiful . The light at this angle lighted up the mountains and lakes perfectly .Equipment
Handheld, Nikon D70 with Nikkor 18-70 mm F3.5-4.5Inspiration
This location showed a summary of the terrain we went through - desert-like sands, water, snow ( yes, even in September) and really beautiful crisp skies everywhere you look .Editing

Now I have my D850. Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8, Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8, Sirui tripodFeedback
I was advised earlier that most times we do not get to shoot what we want because of so many varying factors , so we should shoot what we get ! When you see a scene that appeals to you, just start shooting . A lot.
