The explorer...

I remember taking this photo bright early in the morning when there were just me, Rudi and 275 square miles of white sand dunes laying silently in front of us...  At the time, taking this shot was just for fun, nothing more than pure fun.  But after going through over 1,000 photos, it kind of grew on me - I have to say I love this picture!

-- It reminds me of how overwhelmingly massive the world is to each and every single one of us;

-- It reminds me of how everything in life, including beauty and wonders, is to be discovered with our innate curiosity and strong desire to know and to experience;

-- It reminds me of how insignificant human lives are, and yet, how we should all make the best of it during our limited time on this planet;

-- It reminds me of how lonely life's journeys may be sometimes;

-- And more importantly, it reminds me of how, in a way, we can choose the roads we travel to reach the point we desire...

Life is good.  Never stop exploring, experiencing and enjoying it!
