The Strength of Sand


What struck me about the Sahara was the sand. I mean, other than the fact that it is a desert. When you approach the dunes, they look soft... almost fluid. But once you get close, you realize that a lot of the sand has been packed by wind and hardened by the sun. The texture was actually a lot different than what I had expected. It was a surprising discovery.

Beautiful imagery; capturing the essence of the endlessness of the desert.......and so perfect by nature.
