This chapter testifies to our love of sand dunes. Being there at night is indeed a unique experience to live. Majestic and mysterious, vast and maybe hostile at first glance, they give us a unique perspective, a sense of power and smallness at the same time. The feeling of being alone is amplified by the fact that we are surrounded by an infinity of sand in every direction. Although it can be intimidating, being in these sand territories ignites some sense of euphoria, adventure, and freedom within us. Every desert can become a giant sandbox to explore and express our creativity. For us, the desert is one of those locations where we feel the need to go back. Sort of anchor points allowing us to see the progression we made over the years.

Windy nights in the sand dunes are a common experience. After all, the wind is the main architect of this beautiful landscape, so complaining about it would seem like nonsense. It does add challenges to our process as you can imagine, such as the whistling noise, making communication much harder or stability and precision of execution reduced because of the wind pushing against us. That means a lower rate of success for each night we go out. But who likes it when things are too easy anyway?
