The Courage to Be Yourself

I captured this image from a small plane flying over Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, one of Brazil's main natural gems. Such a surreal relief is formed and changed by the wind. Sometimes the dunes reach a height of forty meters! And the lagoons are filled thanks to rain and tides.
