Description
Lencois Maranhenses Sand Dunes, Brazil.A stormy twilight illuminates the surreal landscape of the Lencois Maranhenses. This was taken half way through my barefoot multi-day trek across the dunes. This is one of the most unique and spectacular landscapes I've ever seen; a shining emerald in Brazil's National Park system. It was pure magic to stand there alone in the gentle breeze and silence and watch the pastel colors fade into the black of night.

Feels like a Dali painting - like the lake is melting. Trippy

Lovely. Very Dali-esque (à la La Persistencia de la Memoria).

This is beautiful. I looked at the thumbnail and thought, "Interesting painting" and didn't realize that it was a photograph until that it was under your username haha.
Also, I'm jealous.

I would like to see this on a big poster by a medium format camera. The details of the sand would be amazing, I guess. As such I can only guess that it is still great. It is a strange picture, I don't quite know what to do with it.

That is amazing. What is that? A pool of water from a heavy rain or a permanent body of water?
