This desert is not hot...

Unlike other desert sands, they are cool to the touch, due to the high rate of evaporation of surface moisture and also to the fact that the sands reflect, rather than absorb, the sun's rays.

That's why the model is not having any difficulty sitting over the sand...I have composed the picture such that the sun is right behind his head....

In fact, we even played sliding over almost 2 storey tall white sand dunes...
