For my luck, this place with these white dunes is located just 20 minutes of easy drive from my living place very close to one of the popular beaches here in the center of the country. But if this beach is super popular and mostly very crowded, the dunes are always empty. And this peculiarity makes them perfect for photography. Human footprints are not a too frequent feature of these dunes, more footprints of the small wild animals, beetles, and reptiles and this makes them even more attractive.
What is always happening to me when I went there for a walk - I forget the bottle of drinking water in the car. But always. But I never forget my cameras - as usual, I take two - one digital and one film. And spare film. And a memory card and a battery for my small Ricoh shutter. But never takes water. Seems like already pathology.
These photographs for me are not only the images with amazing texture but also with the wonderful natural shapes, created by the only thin and white sea sand, the unremitting wind, dry plants, and these awesome shadows created by the low sun (i forget to say that I always come here during a winter season when the sun is naturally low during the whole day, or at evenings, when the sun is already low and on the way to the horizon, but not so close to it.
This series of the white sea sand's textures was published for the Qurator's Photo Quest | Textures
