BAU TRANG
The White sand dunes are a few kilometres North of Mui Ne. This is a most very impressive and exhilarating sight.
I have seen sand dunes in Death valley but here the sand covers an even larger area. There is some vegetation near a lake, the rest is how I imagine the Sahara desert. In early March it was already really hot and on that particular day the wind was blowing with strength and was erasing detail on the dunes. I had to hide my camera in a plastic bag and to only get it out to take photos.

Very nice shot, as you can see the wind blowing on top of the dune!(is good to have a marine-case in conditions like that, it´s not only protecting against water, also against sand! ;o)
Hope your camera was fine after that picture was taken
Best regards
