The Sahara desert: the largest desert in the world, with a whole area of about 9 million km², which is nearly 24 times the size of Japan. Finding myself in such a wide-scaled landscape, passing time only exposed to the wind, I realised how beautiful shapes of nature could be. Now and then, it is nice to take a trip that makes you forget time.
