Morning over the Medanos de Coro 🌞 🌵 🐫

One of the last days of December 2013 my family and I went to a very beautiful touristic place here on Falcón state called "Las Cataratas de El Hueque", but I'm not going to talk about that place today, not yet; I'm going to talk about a stop we did on the Médanos de Coro National Park, a desert that is located on the Médanos Isthmus near Coro city, this isthmus connects the Paraguaná Peninsula with the rest of Falcón state, but I already talked about that on my previous travel post, so let's go on.

We got out early from the Peninsula that day, and watched the sunrise while passing on the road over the isthmus!

The médanos (dunes), as they call it here, are a very interesting place to visit in this region, they are popularly visited by many tourists from the country and all aroud the world. I have visited this national park several times in my life and each time I was accompained with a lot of people taking pictures and having long walks over the dunes. I remember one time when I was little that I was walking over the peak of a dune, totally afraid of falling and holding my mom's hand strongly, the dune was too high!

Now, this time I wasn't a kid and was just enjoying the clear, clean and soft sand under my bare feet, it's better if you go without shoes, more comfortable to walk, and I would recommend going at the first hours of the day and the last ones, when the sun is not so hot and you can set your feet on the sand.

Thanks God there weren't many people that day, so I could take some pics without people.

The sand is really enjoyable and very fun to play with, and I love the patterns the wind creates on them and how it shapes the dunes. On this pic on the right side you can see some dark green and something like a building, that's Coro city!

This is a better view, you're watching where the médanos end and the city starts. And those mountains in the back are the Sierra de Falcón I told you about on the previous travel post I mentioned before. You can also see the main road on the right, that's where people park their cars, by the side of the road, in order to visit this national park.

I was pointing the opposite side here, not to Coro but to the north side, you can even see the main road here too. I really loved those lines on the sand, I find them pretty mesmerizing!

And being in a place like this I couldn't help making a panorama! But I couldn't avoid people in this one heheh I kinda like it though, you can see part of Coro and the Sierra here too.

This is one of my favorite B&W shots, I really loved what I got here, I love those shapes and shadows!

I really enjoyed taking pics in here, I think it's a wonderful place to take photos in, to have an nice walk and relax you feet by doing so! After this, my family and I kept on going our way to the south in order to get to our final destination :D wait for it on my next travel post!

Thank you very much for watching and reading! Tell me what you think about these shots please! :D

Greetings!
