The two figures at the bottom really put it in scale. Great Landscape.

Agree, you don't get the scale till you see the tiny people at the bottom. Nice image.

thanks for viewing and commenting, glad you saw the people. So small you have to look deep to see them.

It's a lot of sand, hard packed so not difficult to traverse.

on the preview, I thought that they are much smaller - scale dunes simply fascinating - great job!

This is one first-rate landscape, brother Bob. Beautifully done and refreshingly different.
