I dune just fine thanks. A couple of years ago we went riding on the dune buggys in Oregon. What a blast. Great shot Michael. Maybe I should post some of my dune shots.

Hi Michael. You've been long time without posting. How are you?
Great Brazil postcard. Very nice sand dunes contrasting with the dramatic sky.

@Rui: Many thanks, Rui. Nice to hear from you.

How am I dune? The usual ups and downs... This comp would be striking as a landscape only - the vehicles take it to another level, and impart an exciting sense of scale. I like how an invisible slalom is suggested by the direction each is pointed.

@Joe Jubinville: Thank you, Joe. The sense of scale, a you point out, is important here. The dunes are vast.

The expanse of lovely sand and the sky are beautiful. Looks like someone got left on foot.
