Catch the Light

Catch the Light by More Altitude.
Cool sand folds like chiffon silk. A ray of light from the rising sun catches the tip of a dune near the Tizirzak Oasis, Sahara Desert, Northern Niger.

I visited the Maowusu Desert in Yulin Prefecture of China 20 years ago. The dune just like your photo, the shape of edge of dune is changed by wind. That image remained in my heart.
Thank you!!
