it almost appears as if that dune is coming out of the ground and going skyward. it's a very interesting perspective and as someone else noted, one that is rarely seen. nicely done here. are you running the auto gyro tours there tjaart? or only taking part in them? i would love to visit namibia. maybe next year.

Thanks for the stopping by and the comment Ian. I placed as I shot it. I tried the rotations but a horizontal flip seems to work better than the rotations to either side. But the flip does not add enough to warrant it IMO. I shot 5700 photos and am now in the process of selecting the best... a nightmare....

Oh how lovely.
Auto gyro rides are a great opportunty - a perpective rarely seen.
I am not really the one to make recommendations... but I want to roate it 90 one way or the other.

An auto-gyro is a (normally) a small plane that uses a 'push' propeller to generate flight and a rotor acting as the wing through auto rotation. Take-off between 0 and 100 meters and landing between 0 and 15 meters depending on the wind direction. My favorite model is the MT, made in Germany, see photo attached. WE do annual expiditions to Namibia, flying about 45hrs total/ 8 hours/day at anything between 2 meters and 2500m. absolutely awesome.

Interesting!
Nice warm colours and textures. What i'm really intruiged about is the reference to an auto giro. What's that?
