Lord Nigels Travels - Random and Remote spots - Photo Eight

in #nature5 years ago (edited)

This original photo was taken on a camera owned by @lordnigel

Hi everyone,

Time for today's random photo, you need to try and guess where I am or where I took the photo?

Many of these photos are unique to Steemit and some are being shown for the very first time.

I was focusing just on remote spots, but have decided to expand it to random spots, perhaps with some land marks making it a bit easier for people to work out where it might be.

This is today's photo.

I remember climbing this dune. I love going places where there are no other foot steps before - normally seeking out that unique wild life photo, yet coming out with squat! 

Tip: If climbing dunes, remember to be careful of sink holes, it might seem stable, but one wrong step and it could be your end.

Any ideas where in the world this is?  

If some one can help me work it out and refresh my memory -  I will grant a boon and give my thanks :)      

If nothing else I hope you enjoy the picture and Steem on!!   

Cheers  

Sort:  

This could be in your neck of the woods or many other places.
Based on the color of the sand, I'm am guessing Morocco just outside of Marrakesh.

Sorry not this time..nice logic/try though.

Big Red in Queensland.

Nice try - yeah look the same colour - Nice guess, but these dunes are much larger (this might give it away)

I'm going to guess Sossusvlei, Namibia. It seems to be famous for its large dunes and the colours look right.

I'm gonna say your damn close...but which dune? :)

Now you're asking! I'm torn between three. I was trying to compare the shapes of them to your photo, but then I realised just how HUGE they all are! Your photo will just be a fraction of it!

If I'm right about the Sossusvlei area, then I think I'm going to go with dune 45, because apparently Big Daddy is a killer to climb and I think you're still alive.

Fantastic! wow..you are really good at this. It was dune 45 :)
..Actually I have climbed the big guy as well - much easier coming down hehe

a boon will be granted

Oh wow, you must be made of tough stuff! Did you roll down? Or maybe take a board and sledge down...🤔 That would have been fun.

Just ran down, picked up too much speed so a couple of rolls and at the bottom :) was over in minutes hehe.
