I just returned from 15 days of travelling through wonderful Morocco.
Besides visiting many of the busy cities, we also spent some time in the desert. This photo was taken on our first evening from one of the highest dunes in the Erg Chigaga, just a 40 Minute walk from our Berber Camp.
Good times!
PS: Just in case you are interested to learn how I process my photos, I have an extensive set of tutorials available on my homepage.

The slow hot wind filled my dry mouth with the grain of sand. This sundown with beautiful orange light feels like a fairy tale of 1001 nights.

Does the Sahara have a voice?
The wind can speak in terrifying roars, whipping the dunes into a fury. The grasses and trees that grow can be heard whispering among themselves. The grains of sand chitter and hiss if you listen.
But the dunes themselves seem mute, getting our attention instead through infinite spectrums of form and color.
Their imposing peaks, their sinuous curves; there is movement in their stillness, humility in their magnificence. They provide the permanence of a mountain range, but flow like a river, shapeshifting before our very eyes.
The milky, pinky taupe colors of morning seem aloof, preoccupied, while the golden caramels of noon belie a deadly indifference as the sun rises to power. The ripening brilliant oranges of evening tease survival, and the seductive, fiery russet reds after sunset celebrate the coming of night, when the desert reawakens and comes to life.
Eventually, all fades into an endless, inky blackness, keeping the desert's secrets well hidden beneath a tapestry of stars.
Does the Sahara have a voice?
I think the desert speaks to all who will listen, even her silence is a symphony. What is she saying? Perhaps only those born of the desert can truly know. Her lessons are many and man's life but a sigh.
Tras la desconexión por un largo viaje comparto esta escena.
Contraluces desde el coche en marcha. Una zona que impresiona por la desolación, sequedad y aridez.
No es que me impresione la dureza de la zona, lo que me impresiona es cómo los habitantes y ganado tanto salvaje como doméstico le sacan provecho a tan pocos recursos, aquí es donde se conjuga el verbo sobrevivir!

Escena completa por los lados pero recorte por arriba para formato panorámico.
En las foto hay ovejas y cabras que son pastoreadas por dos hombres que son perceptibles a la izquierda de la foto. Aunque mi idea es mostrar el paisaje dureza del lugar, tengo mis dudas de que cumpla todos los requisitos de Photonature, en ese caso se puede quitar sin ningún problema. Es solo una foto.
Saludos.

I always wanted to visit a desert, walk on the dunes and experience the vast landscape. This year I had the opportunity to do so in maybe the most iconic desert in the world: Sahara.
It was every bit as amazing as I thought it would be and I would love to go back. Morocco was a good host.

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission has captured rare snowfall in northwest Algeria, on the edge of the Sahara desert.
Part of the Sahara was covered with snow on 7 January 2018, despite the desert at times being one of the hottest places on Earth. The snow was reported to be up to 40 cm thick in some places. Although temperatures plummet during the night, snowfall is very unusual in the Sahara because the air is so dry. It is only the third time in nearly 40 years that this part of the desert has seen snow.
Most of the snow had melted by the end of the next day, but luckily the Sentinel-2A satellite happened to be in the right place at the right time to record this rare event from space. The image was acquired on 8 January.
While snow is common in the High Atlas Mountains, the image shows that, unusually, snow fell on the lower Saharan Atlas Mountain Range. The image is dominated by the orange–brown dunes and mountains dusted with snow.
The town of El Baydah can be seen towards the bottom left. To the east of El Baydah, a cultivated forest is visible as a red rectangle. The image, which has been processed to display vegetation in red, shows that there is very little flora in the region.
The two Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites each carry a high-resolution camera that images Earth’s surface in 13 spectral bands. The mission is largely used to track changes in Earth’s land and vegetation, so useful for monitoring desertification.
This image is featured on the Earth from Space video programme.
