Silhouetted Dune Island Against Dubai City Lights in across a wide valley floor in United Arab Emirates

Silhouetted Dune Island Against Dubai City Lights

by Alicia Vaughan

A low sand dune rises from the flat valley floor, its crest covered in sparse, hardy grasses that catch the last fading light. The dune stands as a dark silhouette against the horizon where the city of Dubai begins to glow. Warm orange and amber streetlights punctuate the deepening blue of the twilight sky, creating a sharp contrast between the natural earth and the artificial glow. Fine dust hangs low above the ground, softening the edges of the dune and catching the distant illumination. The vast, empty valley stretches out beneath the dune, showing the scale of the geologic formation against the distant urban sprawl. One shadow from a tuft of grass falls across the smooth sand slope.
