Spirit of Desert

When everyday life is getting you down, it’s time for an adventure! : )

The Badain Jaran Desert (巴丹吉林沙漠), China.

I have seen some of the greatest landscapes in China, but none of these has moved me as much as this desert did. After sunrise, at -25°C, I enjoyed surreal moments and didn't feel like I was a photographer, but as a painter, who had all the colours, spaces and lines at his disposal to create such a photograph. 
It's like the endless blue 'sea' had a rendesvous with massive sand 'mountains'.
It was really interesting to see, how the colour changes over the day, reaching from a blue tone (thanks to the hoarfrost) in the morning to a strong yellow tone mid-day to a faint brown one in the evening.
A journey there will surely be an event of a life time, 
if done so in Winter... ; )
