Photograph by Stas Bartnikas, National Geographic Your Shot
“Truly, nature is the best painter,” says Stas
Bartnikas, a Your Shot community member. Bartnikas had flown over the
Namib Desert during sunrise and sunset and noticed that the color of the
dunes heavily depended on the angle of the sunlight and the point of
view, with colors changing and unusual pictures and patterns emerging.
As it turned out, he writes, the effect can also be observed from the
ground. He took this photo while riding through Namib-Naukluft National
Park one morning. “The dune behind the tree looked very unreal,” he
writes, “like clouds or something else, because of [the] special angle
of the sunlight.” He had only five minutes to photograph—after that, the
effect disappeared.
