Planet Dune
Title inspired by the 1984 science fiction film "Dune" written and directed by David Lynch, based on the 1965 Frank Herbert novel.
These are snow dunes.
Night shot, taken at Lake Agnel (2,300 m) in the Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy).
I've reached this place hiking for 15 km with snow shoes, then I’ve mounted my tent for the night.
This image has a dual lighting:
from above - the moon
from the right - the lake's lighthouse (turned on for all night, even though there was not a soul for miles).
This side lighting also generated, on the left, the shadow of me plus my camera on tripod while taking the photo... I initially saw this as a disturbing element, but then I thought "why not?!" :-) At the very least this provides a little connection to reality in a landscape that seems actually taken from another planet.
The shades in pink are the result of the encounter with the orange color of the beacon with the white light of the moon.
By the way, the little dot on the right of the moon is planet Jupiter.
