Dunas de Maspalomas - dunes on the island of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. The width of the dunes reaches 1.5 kilometer. The length of the sand dunes from north to south is about two kilometers. See more information about this beautiful Canary Island on: Gran Canaria tourist attractions and sightseeing.
Sunrise in January was nearly eight o'clock so there was no problem to catch on this wonderful show.
Nature creates beautiful sculptures and pictures - just get up in the morning and enjoy the views - I recommend watching the dunes of Maspalomas especially at sunrise - the direction of the light is perfect.
The sand on the dunes, like the beach or snow, cheat light meter in the camera and to properly illuminate the photograph must be overexposed.
Amazing views of the Maspalomas dunes at sunrise. Wind overnight showered footprints on the sand dunes so in the morning was just beautiful!
