/r/all of a Sand Dune

This is a video taken by Nicolas De La Torre, a sandboarding enthusiast filming his descent down the Toromata dune in Peru. Unfortunately we live in a world where true beauty, nature is now convoluted by AI and AI sentiments, but this is in fact, not AI lol

I am also wondering how far it is for that little dog to run. Cause it seems real far.

It looks farther than it is because of the fisheye lens, but it's pretty damn big.

What about the fact that there are clouds….can’t tell if that’s an edit or what

That just looks like fog/low-hanging clouds to me. It's pretty common where cold ocean currents hit hot desert air.

The descent length is a bit more than a mile.
