…No path

Go forth on your path,
As it exists only through your walking

Saint Augustine, Sermon 169.

This is a remarkable photo. Half of the dune appears to be covered with footprints, the other half clean, as if a hoard of people trekked up only half of the dune. I can’t tell, but the fact that there is a clean line between foot-printed dune and clean dune may be an illusion because they may be 2 dunes. Where did you get the photo? There is no credit to it. Where is the dune?

Hi, I took the photo myself just last week. It is of the Dune de Pyle in France the highest dune in Europe. Most people tended to go up it the same side, so that is maybe why it is disturbed on one side. It is all one dune thanks for commenting, Karl

Interesting bit of synchronicity – I’ve just posted Antonio Machado’s poem Wanderer which is more or less saying the same as this.
