The Color of Thunder by Michael Anderson

            Lencois Maranhenses Sand Dunes, Brazil.

The dunes of Lencois Maranhenses are like nature's canvas- the golden white sands reflect the full spectrum of sunset colors into the watery atmosphere, intensifying and bathing the scene in dazzling light like nowhere else I've ever seen.  There are a few rare places on this earth that have just the right atmospheric conditions to create extraordinary light; Patagonia, the high altitude Himalaya, the white granite walls of Yosemite- but this little known corner of the world, empty and quiet,  just might have the best atmospheric conditions of them all.
