[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Wake up every new morning
in a different place
in the vastity of the desert;
leave the tent
facing to the brightness of a new morning;
stretch the arms
in the clear and cold air,
fill up the body of light and space;
Get to know
when waking up,
the extraordinary intoxication
of just breathing,
of just living.

Pierre Loti

I know exactly what you mean with "desert call" and being unable to remain silent. I've always felt like home in the deserts, and I can only regret that my photography skills were almost non-existant when we were in Sahara last February. still, I'm determined to visit as much deserts as I can in my lifetime.

as to the photo - simply stunning. amazing colours (some might say too saturates, but that's exactly how the sand looks), perfect shapes and textures. I love how the distinct pattern in the foreground gradually disappears, emphasising the scale of the scene, and how the textures contrast with the smooth dunes in the background. great shot, my favourite.

thanks for sharing,
Kristine

Ciao Luca,

Luce, colori, dettagli vermamente speciali, è un luogo dei miei sogni.

Hi Luca,
Wonderful photo. This is a very simple one, but the colors are fantastic. I love the tracks made by the wind on the sand.
Regards
Olivier

This calm, quiet and stunning view is calling, indeed. You captured the silky texture perfectly. Congrats.

Hello Luca,

You have such a prize of a photo here. The colors of the sand are very rich and perfectly lit. I also like the lines the wind created in the foreground as well. Most desert scenes I see on TE don't have a blue sky with such dynamic clouds. Great capture.

Cheers,

Mel

Hi Luca. Beautiful elegance, yet what makes the whole thing enigmatic and even terrible, is the harshness of such a place. Stunning colours and gentle curves. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Luca,
me too. Excellent colors waves, sky. Just a superb picture of the desert.
Cheers

Hi Luca,
Absolutely fantastic clarity and colours in this image. The desert dunes you've captured seem so untouched and perfect. I really like the textured sand in the foreground, and the blue sky along with it's white clouds, contrasts very well with the sand. Very well captured.
Cheers, Grant

Hi Luca

Amazing colors and textures. Beautiful sand against the blue sky. What desert scene. Excellent work.

Hello Luca,

Very nice shot, both by the colors but also for the patterns in the sand disapperaing when the look is going to see the background. The clouds are filling nicely the sky.
Perhaps we will meet together in Mauritania, not sure as the desert is wide. I will go there November 25 for 3 weeks to do a hike between Adrar and Tagant. However, some photos will be surely exchange on TE.

Yves.

Hi Luca
What fantastic dunes. I especially like the sharp ripples in the sand and the colour, somewhat like in Australia. THe cloudy, blue sky gives a great atmsophere.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Luca,

A dream of a desert. And you are right, the desert does call. And yes, I am jealous about your trip to Mauritania. Wonderful.

Dennis

Great DOF, all is sharped and the colors are great.
A very nice shot, I like,
Jean-Claude

When it comes to deserts, I am becoming excited... and this one is so lovely, Luca! The colours, the sky, the composition, the details of the dunes... I am floating in a world under the Sheltering Sky and wonder...
take care, bravo!
sasa

Hi Luca
Very nice capture of dunes. You show shapes and structre of this sandy hills, excellent colours and great light. Great contrast between colours' of heaven and desert. I like it :).
Regrds

Hello Luca.
Wow. What a wonderful desert scene. Awesome textures and tones. Great sky and beautiful colours. What a great location. Very well done.
Best regards, Steve.

Hi Luca. Your set of Algerian pictures is just fabulous. Beautiful contrasting colors and great texture. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Luca,
Amazing place!I love the contrast of the dunes and the sky. Breathtaking. I wonder how you got there, I wonder what the dunes feel like and what the wind feels like.
