Location City -  Near Dunhuang
State -  GANSU
Country - China   China
About Taken in the Yardang Rock Formation area about 180km outside of Dunhuang Town.

Some very interesting rock formations to be seen here, however there's a downside: you can only enter and travel in this area on a small tour bus that stops at 4-5 different spots and then for only 5-15 minutes per stop. As a result, you don't have many chances to get good photos.

At the final stop you can rent an ATV and stay as long as you want, but by that time it's nearing 10:30 and the sun is blazing, so I opted out and went elsewhere.

Still a nice way to spend a half day if you're in the Dunhuang area.

Hi Jerry. I had no idea the time would be so limited. There were only a handful of people there so there was certainly no reason to rush... but they did. At any rate, as you said, I made good use of the limited time.

Thanks for the comment ~ James

To stay for only 10 minutes at a favourable time with a bunch of photo dudes or for a whole day all alone in a place of your choice which is not touched by fellow photographers but with a blazing sun above... I'd take the second. HDR can deal with that sun but who can deal with the lack of time and a crowd of quickies.

All the same - you've got wonderful images there. Virgin sands, with no footprints! And the remnants of History itself!

Valerij

I appreciated your Russian skills!

Spasibo Valerii. U menya stepen' bakalavra Russkii yazik, no ya ne govoril po russkii chasto. Poslednii raz 2006 :-(

Ya puteshestvoval vokrug Rossii ranshe, v Moskve, v Peterburg, v Kazane, v Udmurtii .... Ochen' krasivaya strana - Rossiya.

Regarding this photo, while I only spent one hour and a little bit in this area, I was actually out in other parts for about 7 hours in total, returning to Dunhuang in the afternoon, tired and hot. But it was a good day.

Thanks for the comment, and I will enjoy looking at more of your work. It really is very interesting ~ James
