Sand dunes..

..on Schiermonnikoog island,Netherlands(a government protected nature area,from 1989)..... On the beach on the north side of the island, dunes are formed naturally. Water and wind carry sand that descends near the coastline as the flora causes the wind to surrender. The vegetation varies enormously here, as the influence of salt and wind is huge on the chances of survival of plants. Every few meters more land inwards show a whole other biological environment. The dunes are an excellent territory for rabbits,also..

Such a poetic shot and narrative Dr. Quinn. I was in a bunker/sand trap like this on the golf course and my words weren't nearly as eloquent.

I really like the undisturbed look of the sand. Clouds hanging on the edge are great as well. Makes me want to peek over and see the water.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. Anyone who does not like clouds, does not like to dream. The Ghost

Adriana, although those scenes are so familiar to me, can't get enough of them. Stunning picture with a marvellous sky my friend. Thanks for sharing!

I like this very much! The clouds and their color really add to the equally interesting dunes. Very nice work.

I like the contrast between the sand and the sky. The dark clouds enhance the texture of the foreground. Great shot, Adriana:)
