I took this picture on my recent trip through Southern Africa. We went to climb up the famous Dune 45 close to Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert at about half past five to see the sunrise from the dune. This picture is taken just before the Sun appeared over the horizon. The colours were amazing and the untouched dune before me was truly magical.

Dead Vlei is a white clay pan located near the more famous salt pan of Sossusvlei, inside the Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. It is surrounded by the highest dunes in the world. this photo was taken at around 8:45AM and the temperature was already unbearable. Enjoy.

This photo tells the story behind my shot of the sunrise on top of Dune45 in the Namib, the world's oldest desert. The wind constantly blows the sand over the edge of the dune, giving it its unique shape and keeping it in place. The wind blows equally often and strong from West and East, making the dune itself immovable. I was thrilled by the thought of how many millions of grains of sand are blown over the edge of this and all the other dunes in the desert every second. This photo captures a few of them in flight.

This photo was taken at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in the Death Valley National Park - a great sandbox for all the tourists that come here. Nevertheless, at the the end of the day, all that's left of them are their footprints in the sand. So I enjoyed the wonderful colors of the sunset on my own :) By the way, all you can hear in a sand desert is your own breath and the pulse in your ear - very interesting effect...

We stopped briefly because the car behind us disappeared, turns out someone had a weak stomach or too much to eat before the wild ride through the bumpy desert :)
I spent several hours hiking through the dunes taking hundreds of photos one afternoon in October. Despite having a cold and it being over 45°C I enjoyed every moment. I hope to return to this beautiful place in the near future.
I took this image at Great Sand Dunes National Park in April of 2014. The Sand Dunes, in Southern Colorado, are the tallest dunes in the United States. This image is a still taken from a timelapse.
