Sweeping Curves of Sand

It was really hot during the afternoon, so I was pleased we stayed around the lodge. Later on, though, we headed out once more to photograph the dunes in the later afternoon, arriving around 5 pm.

Although we took similar photos to our first visit, this time we drove to Dune 40 and Dune 45 where Gideon could park the vehicle much closer. I was pleased we did this because now I could get more interesting compositions which include the lines along the dunes. I love the curves and bends formed by the wind, and there are trees that provide interest in the foreground. Once again, however, the phone photos give the general idea, though it's those taken on my camera that will bring the locations to life. I hope you like the photos I'm showing you, though.

A highlight was having Giulia once again be our model - you can see she's in her white dress and she braved the wind and headed up the dune for us, and we were definitely in her debt for the photos we were able to take. Apologies, there's no record on my phone.

You can see the sun heading towards the horizon but of course by the time it set we had to be out of the park. Even so, I enjoyed the photography here.

The last three photos in this footprint are by Francesca, taken on her phone. I wanted to include them because she shows the restaurant nicely.Read more
