Sweihan Desert Dunes
|
|
|
| Just Reached Sweihan desert Dunes at the point where you can park and reach sand dunes. The dunes are completely fenced off all around, leaving some such points of entry. Some Huge pipes at the point indicate some development work to commence here soon. | |

| The Sun was up and shining when we reached..... | ||||||

| Mansi upto her "Shaitaanis", getting inside the pipe, before going towards sand dunes after parking the car. | |||||
|
|
|
| Started Walking towards the sand dunes. The road is still visible in the background, so still a long way to go .........Wind blowing the sand into the eyes, can hardly keep them open ! | |
|
|
|
| Still at the area near the road.The sand dunes have started , though, but not steep. | |
|
|
|
| Gita sitting and trying to keep the eyes open against the blowing wind and sand and also trying to hold down the wind blown clothes ! | |
|
|
|
|
Kuku ( kamal) Climbed Some way up and taking a break now.....Observe the beautiful pattern made on the sand by the blowing wind, the pattern keeps changing rapidly with winds.... |
|
|
|
|
| Desert light and shadows at its best ! Gita moving on..... A very steep & high dune visible in the backdrop | |
|
|
|
| Mansi Joins Mom at the same spot, hence now two sets of footprints on the sand ....Kuku's shadow captured while he clicked. | |
|
|
|
| mansi Climbing the highest dune.....we both gave up...it was too steep. She is also catching her breath half way, beside a lone shrub there... This is clicked at very high zoom, hence shows close. | |
|
|
|
| Mansi reached the top of the steep dune....can hardly stand, no foot space and the sand started falling from under her feet, shifting under the weight........Risky, but she likes such thrills...though she was forced to rush back downwards immidiately.....this is also clicked at vey high zoom. | |

| Kuku sitting and watching while Mansi climbed the steep dune | ||||||
|
|
Exhausted after the day's activities, resting as sunset time approaches...
|
|
|
Sitting and watching the Sun set... |
|
|
|
The Sun setting very fast... |
 |
|
The sun almost sets while you can see the sand blowing away from the top of the dune that Mansi is laying upon.....next time you come, the shapes of dunes are all so different...it is intriguing.... |
 |
| Tried capturing the glory of setting Sun over the desert |
|
|
||||||
| Also Tried capturing the beauty of Desert grass against the setting Sun.... | ||||||
Will post some more Photographs of Sweihan soon.
