Sandy Rise

Sandy Rise by More Altitude.
Sand dunes, Tizirzak, Sahara Desert, Northern Niger.

Don't normally like posting too many on a theme all at once, but this is for all those good folks who wanted some dune pics without footprints. :o)

I personally find the other one more dramatic, let me know what you think.

Yes, but this one is more abstract-art.
Anyway, why should I choose when I can fave both? ^_^

I agree with Hobo pd - I love them both. The other one does have a sense of drama, but I love the smoothness of the dune in the background here

For me it's the purity of natural form - certainly a fave.

Wow! I think both of your dune shots are amazing! I love them both! One has a little more drama and this one just looks so pure. This must have been spectacular to see in real life!

More Altitude says:

Again, thank you so much for your comments folks- they are greatly appreciated and always encouraging.

@ ylgx12 Not quite sure what you mean- if you mean the perspective on the shot, the far dunes are about 250 yards away and about 100 feet high (though you're right- in the desert it is very hard to accurately judge distance). If you mean where it is, it's about 1,500km overland north and east from Niamey, about 200km south of the Algerian border in Niger, roughly the centre of the West African subregion. Or in other words, very nearly as far away from anything else that you can possibly get... :o)

It's a tough choice, since they're both extraordinary. But the footprints image is a bit more dramatic.
