Oman - Wind blowing over Sand Dunes in Wahiba Sands
Wahiba Sands lies in the eastern region of Oman. The sands stretch from north to south 180 kilometres, east to west 80 kilometres, with high dunes, extensive woodlands and an unspoiled coastline. Some of the sand dunes are 100 meters in height. Total land area is approximately 12,000 square kilometres with about 3,000 Bedu of varying tribal origins including Janabah, Mawalik, Hikman, Amr and Wahiba.
I was walking around Wahiba Sand dunes sea, starting to think how many more different desert photos I can take, having recently been in 4 different deserts across Arabia. To my surprise in a minute after this thought, strong wind started to blow, creating fantastic new opportunities.

Spectacular! I love the the way you've captured the power of the desert wind. Wind & sand are not friendly toward camera gear either, so hopefully you managed to keep the sand out of your gear.
Well done!

This is a classic, but the wind and light effects make it special. Excellent composition too, the S-shape in the foreground is very attractive.

I see that affect alot when ski touring, but with snow and not sand!
It is a testament to a good photographer, to always be able to creat an image from your surroundings, no matter how frequented they are!
