There’s a patch of vegetation on the dunes I recently was walking around that kind of looks like an island. It comes with a nice bit of shade and that shade is definitely welcome, but I was more interested in the roots. Some of that shade is in this photo, and those roots are spreading out from it and further into the sand, stabilising it more and helping expand the island.

The below image came from me deciding to play around with strong contrasts, and I think it works really well due to the sand. I like the sense of minimalism, or rather, nothing in contrast with something.

I hope you enjoy.
