Lençóis Maranhenses (MA)
An immense national park of 155 thousand hectares. It is really impossible to visit everything within a single day. However, I only had the opportunity to visit Lençóis for one day. I did not waste my time, I did not join my travel companions who stayed at one of the numerous freshwater lakes. That day I have walked many hours through the dune landscape, in order to get some impression of the beauty and uniqueness of the park. I only can use superlatives to describe the park. You only need to walk and climb a few hundred meters through the dune landscape to get the feeling that you are really alone in this world. I sat there, on top of one of the dunes. I was there alone, without company. Without animals around me, no plants, no sounds. Only the white sand, the blue sky with some white clouds, and a burning sun. For a while, I was feeling very small, like an ant in a desert. No powerful man rules that world, but at that moment Mother Nature rules you… The original picture was taken in July 2007.
