  1. Really like that second photo of the dunes in the mist. Also the eighth just made me think – have you seen this chicken?!

    • It was magic to camp in the dunes, the sand was warm to sleep on and my tent in covered in dozens of tiny snails in the misty morning. Yes, the rest of the chicken must be somewhere!

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
