[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Close to the camping at the gate of the sossussvlei park, there is a dune called Helim dune you can climb to take care of the sunset.
As there was some wind, the tracks of the climbers are quickly erased from the sands.
Not so easy to climb in those moving sands, but it is really worth.

Hello Yves,
Nice image of the dunes. Great POV. The footsteps with their shadows look great as does the distant view to the right. Nice image of good quality.
Cheers,
Debbie

Trés belle perspective dessinée par des pas qui se font de plus en plus petits avec au loin, sur un ciel bien saturé, le marcheur. Joli effet que cette lumiére razante et superbe profondeur de champ.
Bien vu.
Amicalement.

The tilt in the picture makes it unique and gives it a sense of imbalance. I like the patterns and texture of the sand. TFS.

Hello, Yves

Yesterday I saw the BBC's PLANET EARTH serie "Deserts". Beautiful images from this desert were included in the movie, with commentary that dunes here are among the highest in the world. Ibex were haunted and ambushed by lions, etc. A place worth to see, and from a top of a dune the view I believe is stunning...

Asparuh
