sand dunes

sand dunes.. when i heard of it i assumed it to be some part of a beach event. mountains of sands across the sea coast lined up for fun.. little did i know that i m going to experience some thing nature had designed.

we booked the buggy ride, a kind of a bus that can carry upto 20 passengers. our thougt ws that the bus will take us along the sand dunes and we can see the bikers swing their path across the dunes.. 

the moment the bus took us into the sand filled areas, the scenic beauty of it was enthrallling. acres of sand strewn across making patterns all by themselves was a beauty in itself. then the bus swayed down..... like a roller coaster and it was great. great is just the tip of the iceberg..

all of a sudden we spot a small water area in between the otherwise brown landscape,, greenish shade of water which apparently was pure spring water ushering from some rocks beneath..

the dunes are nothing but areas of otherwise rocky or tree lands covered by sands over years.. its amazing to see a 100 feet tree covered almost 90 feet in sand revealing only the 10 feet of itself ...

then the bus swayed once again, swooon  we went down and looked back to see the trail that the bsu left in the process.. photographic shot. should sy

we were watching the euphoria that the bikers were creating,, they were everywhere going up and down mercilessly..making patterns, lifting the bikes, some who were new were trying to take the decisiosn of whether to zoom down or make safe paths on the sand.. we wathced few topple over and rolll down.. hmm its dangerous to look but the sand itself is like a cushion wielding the impact..

it was  a long 1/2 hr of going down and steady down and steady mini roller coaster rides on the sand. the we stopped at a scenic place from whre we could watch sandy landscape all around with spots of green here and there..

the sand was so wonderful to feel .. my feet just loved them

after a few photographs and poses we hopped back to head home.. it was a joy ride sandy and nice..
