This image, with early morning light emphasising contours, gives a good impression of the parallel sand dunes of the Simpson Desert. Also shadows of clouds and a light sprinkle of rain beyond the aircraft wingtip. There's also a 4WD track visible (may need to enlarge to view).

Down at the nearby beach, the "Elves" have not only installed benches, they've now even numbered the walkways for easy locational reference.

The dunes at our local beach are gradually but steadily being eroded. This is entirely consistent with what is expected due to rising sea levels associated with climate change. The causes are melting ice from glaciers and ice caps, plus expansion of the ocean water as its temperature rises. As explained in this link, ocean levels have risen by about 25cm since 1880 and the rate has increased to about 3cm a decade now. No wonder the people on low-lying islands are concerned!

No, I haven't been travelling to Africa, for some reason a beach locale near Moruya in NSW is named Congo! Explored. My involvement on ipernity is limited at present, so my apologies if I do not respond to your comments or visit your images - I shall try to do so as far as possible.

Plenty of sand and surf here! That surf looks a bit risky though, with at least two large rips visible. Anyway, if surfing appeals, here's a song to go with it. Best viewed large. Explored.
