a tale of a trail

[quester]

Today I went to help a team of ours that operates bike tours, on their work in preparing part of a bike path that will cross the country from north to south.
I was lucky that this was a day after some rain fell in the area, so I also got to see some of the interesting things water does here....

Wishing all a wonderful 2014.

Now that looks like desert to me. The soil colour is very interesting.
I wonder whats in that to give that colour.

Love the pano, the foreboding clouds really set it off.

Hard to say what the "real" color is! Depends a lot on the light. Generally speaking, these are interesting dunes, because the particles are made up of fossil remnants of microscopic organisms, and not only quartz, which is the usual main component of dunes here. This makes for a more dense sand, and probably explains the look of the "sand flows" I shot.

Really like number 5.
