I hope when you look into this photo that you feel a little lost and yet in awe, and you can almost feel the arrival of the cold evening that was falling when I took this photo.

myPics: The Dream of Sharjah Dunes
This week, as year ago, I was in the UAE visiting my friend, Eileen, and
her family. My lovely hosts took me and some of their friends dune
bashing in the desert of Sharjah, the emirate immediately north of Dubai. It's like a roller coaster ride, but in a beat up Range Rover.
A few times our young driver stopped so we would take some pictures of the desert landscape. While there were a caravan of Range Rovers, we were able to stop on the other side of dunes to make us feel like we were the only ones there. The sane was a beautiful vermilion and, like other desert locales, its color shifted as the sun started to set.
I hope when you look into this photo that you feel a little lost and yet in awe, and you can almost feel the arrival of the cold evening that was falling when I took this photo.
