MAGNIFICENCE OF DESERT
Very silent Khara sand dunes make the landscape spectacular and a great place for meditation or jogging in the desert. On a windy day, I could hardly see my friend walking through the sand dunes. As I managed myself on the wind, I saw the beauty of the desert through my camera’s viewfinder; and managed to capture the moment of the magnificence of the desert.

THE PERFECT STORM
The gathering fog and increasingly gale-force winds churned up the sea so that huge, almost frightening waves smashed the pier. Crouching down, clutching the tripod tightly, I captured a few shots of this unreal, quite threatening, but fascinating situation.
