ABOUT THE LOCATION
|
|
Sand dunes can found in many places along the coastlines of Europe, and are often a favourite subject for photographers, but the Dune du Pilat simply tops them all. At over 100 metres high and 500 metres wide, this mammoth dune stretches three kilometres along the south west coast of France and is the largest sand dune in Europe. This miniature desert provides a sea of opportunities for photos of wave-like forms, rippled patterns on the dune's surface and the curving lines of the sandy peaks. Almost devoid of vegetation, there are great possibilities for clean orange shapes set against the blue sky, or you can use the few spiky grasses to your advantage as foreground interest. Delicate bird trails can also be used as focal points, and even human footsteps can offer a leading line through a photograph. End your photographic day by catching the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean amidst the glowing pink mountains of sand. |
