This scene is has been given a grunge texture. There is also this same scene without the texture.
The Dune du Pilat, the tallest sand-dune in Europe (109 metres) has been protected by law since 1994. It is 2,700 metres long, 500 metres wide, and contains some 60 million cubic metres of sand. This remarkable geomorphological formation is a veritable natural archive encompassing 4,000 years of history
Climbing up the dune requires a lot of effort since the sand is very soft and one's feet will sink in to the sand. The view is worth the effort, however. There is also a set of stairs available for tourists to choose to climb.. It is a very tall dune.
It is located in La Teste-de-Buch in the Arcachon Bay area, France, 60 km from Bordeaux. There are many anomalous natural features found throughout the world, the dune of Pilat is one such place. Not wanting to over simplify what i'm sure 'experts' will likely tell us is the result of complex environmental forces acting in concert over thousands and thousands of years but doesn't it just look like some giant child has poured a huge bucket of sand down onto the Arcachon forest?
When we finished our ooohing and aaaaahing, we drove over to Arcachon .finding a oyster bar right on the docks where we indulged ourselves with raw oysters on the half shell, smoked snails, and the largest shrimp I had ever seen! And it was all extremely fresh and delicious!
