Sahara
Unfortunately the skies here in the desert are mostly hazy and full of sand and dust! There are not too many days when there are clear horizons with clouds, and to be able to catch a sunrise like this was just excellent! Located in Libya towards the Algerian border.

Sahara belongs to the following groups:

the first chance i got to get take pictures of a sunset on my holiday when i got home just about all the pictures were grainy :o( i was very disapointed as i can not get out in evenings to watch them so this was my only chance fi long time. I dont no why they turned out grainy any idea? This picture you have is just wonderful, i love the striking sands with the beautiful sunset. All your pics are just brilliant :o)
