Libyan Dunes Photo

Photographer’s Note

Dunes - only sand...

Two hours before sunset we started climbing up the dune. Not so easy - two steps updward, one step gliding off.

Hello Achim,
Interesting view of these sculptured sand dunes with the wheel tracks whirling around in the foreground around the tufts of vegetation. TFS.

Hi Achim,
a busy piece of sand. Where are they all gone? Good picture.
Regards, Gerrit

Hallo Achim,
Krebse bewegen sich so, oder? Die Spuren weisen allerdings nicht auf Fußabdrücke hin. Dafür ist dieses verwirrende (oder verirrte) Chaos hochgradig interessant. Auch der Workshop gibt mehr Rätsel als Klärung. Die im Hintergrund liegenden "Gipfel" liegen gut im Licht.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Bonjour, cher Achim,
J'ai toujours aimé le désert. On s'assoit sur une dune de sable. On ne voit rien. On n'entend rien. Et cependant, quelque chose rayonne en silence...

Amitiés.

HAllo Achim,

only sand but a lot of cars...i really like the contrast between the foreground with its tire tracks and the dunes in the background with this game of light and shadows,
Louis
