Wow, Joggie, that has fabulous color. Are there actually different colors of sand/soil like that there? When you say "gyrocopter", I picture you flying around like that old coot on Waterworld (or maybe it was one of the Mad Max movies, I can't remember, LOL)
Best wishes,
Dave

Thanks Dave - Sossusvlei is characterised by the highly oxidised, deep red dunes formed with fine grained sand. This area had its best rainy season in 60 years, 4 months prior to my visit there. The dunes were covered with grass (some only partly, the smaller ones fully)hich was all but dried out when we arrived. This is a very scarce occurence and we were lucky to experience the sight of red and yellow contrast between the dunes and the dead grass. What you see here is different shades of grass, some with light yellow/white plumes, others dark yellow with a green tinge etc. The grass in the shadow also has a different hue against those in the sun while the angle of the sun to the dune has an added influence in the tones. A real spectacle I can assure you which is difficult to bring to life on a two dimensional CCD of 23 x 15 mm! Regards.

Great shot, reminds me of Nat Geo work. My only gripe is that you really shouldn't post great shots and put "Gyrocopter" in the description without a full story.

Sorry Michael - following is my response to a quaetion by Petal Wijnen about the previous dune upload. "Hi Petal - thanks for the wonderful comment. Yes this is not so easy: It is an open mini-helicopter, you sit in the backseat (in tandem), the average speed is about 150km/hour and one have to shelter oneselve against the wind by hiding behind the back of the pilot. The wind is so strong that you have to hold onto the camera very well to prevent it from flying through the air (lost a few lensecaps in the process). I used the 50mm Nikkor for max lens opening but opted for ISO 200 on the D70 for best results/lowest noise. The light was very low and deteriorated from 1/1,500sec when we lifted to about 1/100sec when the sun set - all within about 20 minutes. One unforgettable experience"
Regards
Joggie
