In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Forces of Nature.”
We get a surprising amount of rain in the desert – most often it comprises short showers which leave just a few droplets on the sand. However In January of this year we had a major rainstorms which literally washed the top layer of sand away on many dunes.
You can see where the rivulets of water cascaded down the dune; this is mother nature’s version of etch-a-sketch as a few days of drying out followed by a warm wind and the lines are gone forever!
You can see more pictures of Liwa – after the rain here.
Wow, that looks so interesting. All the shape and texture.
Thanks Mary – I’ve only seen the dunes like this once in the 5 years I’ve been driving on them. Fantastic experience!
I’ve never been in the desert and I think is very “challenging”,,, like the weekly photo challenge!
Hi and thanks for stopping in past my blog. Crossing the desert is very challenging and the stark beauty is worth making the effort! Love your pictures too, have a good day, regards, Marina
