#7 The Dune

#7 The Dune Collection: Anatolian Nights Artist: Mustafa AYDIN Edition: 1/1 Jpeg Size: 6000*4683 px Even though it looks nice for a Milkyway foreground, sadly, some parts of Anatolia are becoming desert. This dune is only 3 hours drive away from Ankara at the town called Karapınar. Karapınar is surrounded by deserts, pre-historical volcanic activity sites and salty bitter lakes. A long walk has to be taken to the dune from where the car can be parked. On the way, a very interesting endemic species called "kangaroo rat", foxes and coyotes can be run into.
