Ovidija Jukonienė's Album: The Virgin Dunes

The Virgin Dunes of Carrapateira .. Carrapateira is a small town on the hillside just behind the sand dunes of Praia da Bordeira (often mistakenly called Praia da Carrapateira) about 14km north of Vila do Bispo and just south of the village of Bordeira. It's very popular with surfers. You wade across a shallow river to get to it and find miles of sand and wonderful dunes.

It’s the perfect moment when our bodies cast shadows far and long across the virgin dunes. After that the dunes are fair game…
