About Next from the dunes' series:)
This time I've found something about this place, so:

In the past, these moving sands covered up the village called Łącka.
The remembrance of this occurrence has been preserved in the name of
the largest moving dune of the Slovinski National Park The Łącka Dune.
It has the shape of a large crescent with the rays outstretching
eastwards. The dune translocates to the east due to predominating
western winds.Its windward slope (western) is long and calm, whereas
the leeward slope (eastern) is steep and short. With the wind blowing
with the speed of 5 M/S (18 KM/H) there starts the movement of the
dune. The sand corns being rolled by the wind wonder eastwards until
they reach leeward slope when they impetuously scree down. In this
manner, the dune moves, translocating several meters per year. In this
time the dune covers everything up that it meets on its route. Having
reached the Łącka Mountain, one can see that its southern part cover
up the alder forest. The height of its most wide-spread moving dune
depends on the strength of blowing winds and ranges between 30 and 42
meters over the sea level. During the spring and summer, when the
winds are lighter, it moves more slowly but it grows in height. During
the autumn and winter when strong storm-winds blow, it moves more
rapidly though it is lower. While wondering, one can notice the
phenomenon of "Dune Dusting" meaning the sound caused by the sand
rushing with the wind. The Łącka dune constitutes a part of over 500
HA complex of moving dunes. This range, called the White Mountains
- by the name of the sand that forms it, is unique in the European
scale. The dunes are not only the sand but also they constitute plants
and animals living there. Due to dry, barren and moving solum, life in
these conditions is not easy at all. Such difficult conditions endure
not many species of plants. The pioneer among them is beach grass
(Ammophila) the grass, which stabilizes the dune by its long roots and
facilitates better conditions for other, not-numerous plants. Not
large plants diversity influences small diversity regarding the animal
world. On the White Dunes, none of the birds make their nestles there.
The only birds that can be noticed are the ones that only fly in from
the neighbouring forests, beaches and the hollows between the dunes.
With a little bit of luck, one can meet deer, roe-deer or wild boars
for which the dunes make only the stage in their wonder and not the
place of a permanent staying. Many a time, from the peak of the Łącka,
one can observe a flight of white-tailed eagle tne Bird strictly
connected with water environment. The Łebsko Lake is the spot, where
the white-tailed eagle gains its food and it has built a nestle in the
nearest forest on the Spit.

Hope U enjoy it!

Hi Igor! Thank U for and advice:) I've considered it, but resigned. Why? First of all I have a similar b&w capture in my portfolio..And the second thing is that I like this blue colour in the sky and wanted to keep it:) But the b&w version is also superb!

...and so that one... well... I think the way you get the shot gives me a though that Poland has a...desert? :-D lol...just kidding... you cannot have a desert... firstly Greece will be a desert and after lot of years...perhaps also the north Europe... :-( well, just a bad mood about how we ...care about our environment and our planet...

My favourite landscape dear Ania,
an excellent vivid capture with a lot of interesting detail and a beautiful perspective.
Your about is also very interesting and a joy to learn from.
A temporary landscape, a wandering hill, sands move so fast but stay long enough to enjoy.
Hear once the whistling sound if walking barefoot on the hot sand or enjoy, nearly flying, running downwards. Falling now and then without worry. Great experience,
hugs and kisses,
Paul
