I was camped on the beach in front of stacks of Dyrholaey in Iceland, waiting the passage of a storm with winds at 120 km / h. Suddenly the rain stopped and in a strange light gray, the rocks appeared to me in all their beauty emerging from the stormy sea. Immediately prepared the equipment, but the strong wind moving my camera on the tripod, only with the help of 2 friends i was able to take some pictures, this is the best.

I had just finished to visit a paleosol, rich in historical remains, when by radio came the news that a car of the group was blocked by sand. Waiting for the car rescue, I discovered this strange and high dune of colored sand that had on the base this band of purple sand characterized by abundant veins of different sizes. I tried to compose the shot so that the asymmetry of the band of purple sand was balanced by an equal range of blue sky: this is the result

Before dawn, but without conviction I went outside to find some beautiful scenes to photograph. A band with no clouds on the horizon was promising, the dusk was dyed by a lovely shade of orange that beautifully contrasted with the black volcanic beach sand and the deep blue of small icebergs that had stranded them: there was an absolute peace.

After another wonderful day of backcountry driving in the Hoggar, I decided to stop for the night in an area called Tiouardiouine Aguermane.
This is a place slightly raised above the surrounding desert, where beautiful rock formations emerging from a sandy desert,
the view is really great, but getting there is not so easy, the sand is very soft and the ATVs coverups are guaranteed. The next morning I decided to take some pictures of these two stacks emerging from a sandy basin,
The light was wonderful
and since that time
that place is in my heart.
