The location of this shot is the “Empty Quarter”, or more commonly known as the “Liwa” in the southwestern corner of the Abu Dhabi emirate, which is the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It is approximately a three hour drive.
The scenery in this part of the world is really beautiful, however because it is quite remote, it is still fairly unknown. To be able to take photos and show them to other people is something I really enjoy.

Remarkable image of a little seen area, Clayton. Thank you for sharing the beauty with us.
This is a very nice photo Clayton!! I love the shadows, textures and the details in the sand dunes. Very nicely done and I am glad that you shared this one with us!! This one has to be looked at in the larger version.
Holy cow, this shot is amazing!
GORGEOUS!!!!
Outstanding job Mr. Fisher. This photograph is both technically perfect and breathtakingly beautiful.
Where I live we tend to see mostly snow. The sand here is simply spectacular! I LOVE this photo!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Astonishing!
Now there’s something I never see around here! Great photo. I love all the textures and patterns in the sand.
Just amazing!
