the sun is setting over the sand dunes

Locked in a sandstorm, engulfed in total darkness, I desperately search for shelter. A few hundred meters from this dune, I sense some protection from the wind as I take refuge without truly knowing what lurks beside me. Awake all night to the piercing whistle of the wind, I wake up at the foot of Iran's highest dune, capturing this image from its summit. Three hundred kilometers away lies my destination: Yazd, the city that blends into the desert to escape potential invaders.
