During a trip to the UAE, I initially went to these dunes hoping for some nice golden light to highlight the ripples of the sand. It started raining on the way, and I almost turned around, thinking I wouldn't get anything good. I was so glad that I kept going, because the desert during a storm has a whole different beauty to it.
