A surveyor’s Land Rover emerges seemingly out of nowhere during our sand storm camp move in the Calanscio Sand Sea.
The rising sun breaks above the horizon of the Calanscio Sand Sea in this photo from December 1990.
It was time to turn my camera to the west, and there I saw the shadow of Mount Kinabalu cast upon the early morning haze.
Today’s photos were taken shortly after yesterday’s. The difference is I framed them vertically which further emphasizes the clouds. Like all the shots in my Everglades series it’s a three-shot 4EV range HDR. Also like most of the it was taken while the airboat was in motion.
On the horizon are two of the landmarks my captain uses to navigate – the radio mast just left of center and a cement plant just to the right of the white cloud.
I can’t actually place where I took this photo but I’m thinking it’s more likely Koh Phi Phi Ley than Koh Phi Phi Don, largely because the photos around it in my collection show all the hallmarks of having been taken from a moving small boat – horizons far from level! I think this image shows the vertical scale of the limestone outcrops that form these islands.
