A roar on the dunes by busi2ness
Open full image in new tabDescription
This had been a lot of fun, trying my skills against a steep slope, slipping and sliding and sand everywhere ruining any good camera - and one does not find a willing model everyday to capture doing dune surfing! These sand dunes are also called the "roaring sands" because of the sound, not unlike a lion emanating from the sands under ones feet.
Thanks to Rachelle for being patient and willing - I can only hope I captured the energy, motion and youth well.
Thank you for your constructive comments on the previous upload:

That looks like so much fun, how do you keep all the sand out of your camera though... :)
Hehehe... looks like a lot of fun. Done that on snow, but never on sand. Great shot.
Beautifully capture Piet!
Quite good and refreshing
I have an underground word that I use to characterize boosters words about planning as espoused by athletic directors who copied the ruthless drive of satellite gyms in the soviet era. "bunch of Bourgeois" How that held my attention as songs went off the charts and led to Napster and disruptive technologies is a study in survivial. Here the images continue and the surfing on silicon rolls on. I was pleased no one harmed the horses in Egypt in spite of the violence of their riders.
Now here's a sport I could like! We do snowboarding here .. and that's way too cold for me. A fabulous shot! You caught it all .. the energy, youth and motion .. and the warmth!!!
great work
