Ten years ago, I spent with wife and daughter a few days in the Lybian desert. The Sahara has been, so far, the best travel experience in my life. Such an immersive thing that I still have not resolved to edit and organize the fantazillion photos I took.
I did it the last days. Just a minimal selection (14), I hope you will enjoy.
OK, I'll let the images talk.
@jenp Thank you, Jennifer also for the follow! It was just a person walking on the slope... @kali66 Indeed. thank you so much, Kali! @overalvandaan Thank you, Saxa. Digital, I had only recently bought the Nikon D3, so it was a discovery trip also on the photographic side! @seattlite Thank you, Gloria! It was such a steep dune and people would walk across the slope. I was down at the bottom, with a rather long lens... @bella_ss Thank you! Uncertainty of the scale is one of its limit, I agree. But also gives it a more abstract feel.
@domenicododaro I agree, very abstract. I'm not sure I would have guessed what it was had you not told us. Actually, when I viewed this earlier it appeared to be raised sand and now it looks like holes in the sand which is what I have decided it is.
@jyokota Thank you so very much, Junko. Greta's footprints, just before crossing the rim of the dune and coming down on the other side, portrayed int "Girl on the moon".
@jyokota I do remember this particular dune being very high and very very steep; the sand was very soft though, and walking across the slope, almost parallel to the rim, Greta's feet plunged into the sand, leaving that almost circular print and causing the little slides immediately below each step. And no, no footwear at all: as soon as we got to the desert, Greta took away her shoes and refused to wear them until we went back... She was just nine and the Touareg people driving us in the desert on their huge AWD Toyotas were laughing all the time saying "this is girl is one of us!"
