The Red Planet

The red sands of Tin Merzouga, after sunset, in the Tadrart desert, southeast corner of Algeria, near the borders with Libya and Niger. Of course, many of the grains of sand that compromise the dune ended up sticking to my camera's sensor ......and inside my water bottle, my tea, my soup, my dinner, my tent etc etc. I spoiled this shot with footprints but have many more without, coming soon.
