myday #77 - Exploring sand dunes in Western Australia
Hello Steemians!
On my way to the Pinnacles, north of Perth - the most isolated capital city in the world, I came across a massive set of sand dunes.
As I had plenty of time to kill, I decided to leave the car on foot to go and explore the dunes with my camera.
The light was patchy in one direction due to an approaching storm whereas the opposite direction there was nothing but blue skies.

I found a small plant growing in the dunes which led to an interesting foreground subject. Getting low to the ground also helped portray the small plant against the massive dunes.

Looking up from the scene I noticed the rising sun in the opposite direction. The golden light on the dunes formed some interesting contrast. It certainly made for some great shots!

As the dark clouds rolled in I turned to the blue sky to frame a couple of abstract images.

Hey @goldmatters thanks for commenting. I saw your challenge that you posted.... I think that was what you were referring to? I didn't see Australia on the list though :( maybe next time. Appreciate you stopping by!
It is!! Well a famous place like the Opera house or the Harbor bridge with the sign would CERTAINLY qualify for a chance at the bonus as detailed in the orginal post ;)
Ah okay! I'll see what I can do. Can't promise anything but it will certainly be on my mind I if I go to the city this week.

Great series and nothing much to add :) Except for that lonely plant. That is some determination :)
Haha it certainly is. Those roots must go really far down! Cheers for leaving a comment
The sky in the background is definitely getting ready for some storms it looks very stunning against the sand dunes and deserted background!
