Dunes Close Up

Two days ago I posted the following photo of the dunes at Birubi Beach

http://365project.org/onewing/365/2019-12-12

but I also liked this photo of the same dunes close up so I thought I would post this photo today.

I love the shadows and light forming a spine through the dunes.

Thanks so much for putting yesterday's photo Going Home on the TP and the PP. I always love spotting the camels on the beach and as some people said it did look rather like Lawrence of Arabia and not just Anna Bay in summer.

This is fantastic -- I love the way the line draws us in. I also like the closeup, but was glad to be able to see the broader context.

[Margo]

Wonderful shot, you have some great scenery around where you live Babs

[Babs]

@taffy I agree Taffy I wanted to post the broader picture first to give the shot context as you dont get the size of the dunes from this image but I do love the light and shade

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful pov. Love how you caught the light and shadow.

[Maggiemae]

Striking, what the light does in creating shadows, lines and character. Great shot.

@777margo @shutterbug49 @maggiemae @momamo @gardenfolk @koalagardens @susiemc @newbank @pusspup @joansmor @happysnaps @haskar @pistache @sangwann @dridsdale @peadar @louannwarren @pcoulson @bkbinthecity @sdutoit @lyndamcg @ludwigsdiana @pdulis @seattlite @kwind @craftymeg @julzmaioro @angelikavr @mittens @happypat @olivetreeann @pyrrhula @lyndemc @jyokota Thanks. This has to be my favourite beach and dunes, a walk here never disappoints. The golden glow of the sand at this time of day is just magical.

@s4sayer Lawrence went off in the other direction with his camels.

@jgpittenger I did consider black and white and it did have a bit of an Ansel Adams feel to it, but normally the sand is so white and only changes to this golden colour in the evening golden hour light.

@beryl @happypat I thought you may be interested in the attached clip of this stretch of beach. The dunes go from Anna Bay to Stockton in Newcastle and are about 32 km long. Also along this stretch is Tin City and I have posted photos of Tin City before on 365. The only way to get there is either by 4wd or to walk and a few of us walked to Tin City a couple of years ago through the national park and then over the dunes. It was quite a hike but worth it.

[Babs]
