    Spot on title for a spot-on photo!
    Timeless-less. It is one thing to witness water flowing, and now we see the flow of sand presented to us.

    Lovely shot of a no-water-fall! Haven’t been there yet, but it’s on my list. I like the moodiness here–darkness at the top with light seeming to come from below.
    By the way Anurag–65 is NOT OLD! There was a very young ‘Anurag’ on Jeopardy a while ago…….you??? Wayne, maybe we could challenge him to an endurance contest?

    It does indeed look like a magical place.

    Normally I am irritate by this type of orange, eroded-cave type picture (I guess they’re all taken in the same place). Like close-ups of birds (which often get too much credit on this site imo), they are not unique. More of just a point-and-click-for-a-perfect-photo type of deal. However, I like your photo because you didn’t have tunnel vision for the cavernous, orange walls, and beams of light surrounding you… you saw the sand and the power that carried with it within this place. So good job :)

    Rare to find & beautiful to see, thank you.

  15. renee renee Says:

    Looks very stunning! thanks for sharing.

    The Sands of Time…

    @Katherine
    It was ment as a compliment and I am sure I will fail that endurance test. All I do is perform surgeries 4 to 6 hrs. everyday, sitting on a stool. So vigourous activity will leave me panting.
    Do not misunderstand me, and my apologies to Wayne if I have offended him.
    It is a positive statement and should be taken as such.

  18. Sue Gagnon Says:

    An amazing shot of a truly amazing place that I would love to see for myself!

  19. João Ganhão João Ganhão Says:

    Magix is the word! Like a sand clock! Great photo!

  20. Katherine Lee Strassburg Says:

    Anurag–no offense was taken–just my sarcastic wit in action! I’m always glad that so many amazing people are willing to undergo such hardships, pain, time, etc., to share the world with those of us who are more home-bodies and can’t afford the equipment they use! I’d definitely fail the endurance test too! I always enjoy your insightful comments–keep them coming. I’ll continue to travel the world vicariously on my favorite site!

    Splendid and magic shot, great atmosphere! Congrats
