Only blue sky, no clouds during 2 weeks. Winter is the dry season, with good temperature (20 to 25° at day, and 0 to 10° at night)... Paradise for me!

We looked for a country with 'desert' + 'not too hot' + 'animals'. If you put this words on Google, the answer is Namibia... Hehe! Thanks

I like the play of light & shadows on the dunes. And how the wind is blowing the summit of the dune away, it keeps it from being just another static desert picture.
Another great job by you.

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

Good picture. I can't help but think that it looks similiar to a wallpaper that comes with XP. Just the foreground without the back, and it would be! Good pic. though anyway. Like how you've got the main focus point in the foreground, and then you hav a large, very interesting background. And the sky makes it all stand out. Well done!

Take him to court :P You'll get a lot of money - and then you could pay to go to more places and take more pictures! :P

Another one of yours I got to give a 10, Pierre - composition is fascinating, excellent contrast in light and shadows and keeps my eye interested in it all. Thanks for sharing your talent! - Patty
