MAGNIFICENCE OF DESERT
 
Very silent Khara sand dunes make the landscape spectacular and a great place for meditation or jogging in the desert. On a windy day, I could hardly see my friend walking through the sand dunes. As I managed myself on the wind, I saw the beauty of the desert through my camera’s viewfinder; and managed to capture the moment of the magnificence of the desert.
