My friends took that photos for me at a sanddune in Mui Ne, Phan Thiet city, Binh Thuan province, Vietnam, from 4.30am to 6.30am, around 50 photos. We went to MuiNe and stay at Lion spa and resort near the beach. It's a wonderful resort, you can see it on internet. I went there with the whole company for a short beak just Saturday and Sunday. We enjoyed some activities and games the whole night then went to the Pink sanddune at 4am by car. It took 15mins more to walk inside and stopped at the first sanddune because we're all tired. It was the last Saturday and Sunday in June,2009. My two friends and I volunteered to be models for the others who wanted to practice to take photos. Thank you for your comment. Can we be friend ? I would like to pratice English more.Have a great day!
