Morocco - Hiding from the sand storm

    This photo was taken during very early and very windy morning. I particularly like those sunrays coming from the blowing sand and soft layers of the dunes. There are two men, one standing and one of trying to hide from blowing sand ..

      The color of that sand, makes me want to,....eh,.......eh,...eat it hahaha

      Sublime image my friend.

    37. Luís C (51 months ago | reply)

      I particularly like the golden tones on the dunes, different from the usual red oxidized tones from Namibia's and southern Sahel. Great lines and volumes, enhanced by the good light quality and position. Very dramatic!

      Stunning Image, the layers of the dunes are a great backdrop to the strong image of the upright figure.
