The Color of Thunder
by Michael Anderson
Lencois Maranhenses Sand Dunes, Brazil. The dunes of Lencois Maranhenses are like nature's canvas- the golden white sands reflect the full spectrum of sunset colors into the watery atmosphere, intensifying and bathing the scene in dazzling light like nowhere else I've ever seen. There are a few rare places on this earth that have just the right atmospheric conditions to create extraordinary light; Patagonia, the high altitude Himalaya, the white granite walls of Yosemite- but this little known corner of the world, empty and quiet, just might have the best atmospheric conditions of them all.

This may be the most perfect image I have ever seen. Simple in design yet amazingly rich in depth on color and tone. Really, really good work.
