Excelent shot and incredible view, Elke. Have you heard some explanation about this unusual color of sand? Voted! Greetings, @na travizi

Eelke de Blouw, on July 17, said:

Thanks @na travizi! I'll quote Wikipedia :-):

"These powdery grains of sand are not composed of quartz, unlike most desert sands, but of soft, chalky gypsum, or calcium sulfate. Also, unlike other desert sands, they are cool to the touch, due to the high rate of evaporation of surface moisture and also to the fact that the sands reflect, rather than absorb, the sun's rays. It is the world's largest surface deposit of gypsum, the mineral from which plaster of Paris is made."
