This image captures a wide-angle view from atop a prominent sand dune at Dunas da Sabiaguaba in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, during what appears to be late afternoon or early evening. The pale, largely clear sky occupies the upper two-thirds of the frame, transitioning from a light blue-gray at the zenith to a subtle yellowish hue near the horizon. The golden-tan sand dune dominates the foreground and midground, exhibiting visible wind-formed ripples on its steep left slope and numerous scattered footprints across its surface. Below the dune, a multi-lane paved road, identifiable as Avenida Senador Carlos Jereissati (CE-040), runs horizontally across the mid-left, populated by numerous vehicles and lined with streetlights, some of which are illuminated. Beyond the road, a dense expanse of dark green vegetation, likely mangroves, borders a calm, dark body of water, Rio Cocó. The distant Atlantic Ocean is visible as a narrow blue-gray band on the horizon, beyond the river and vegetation. Approximately 20-30 individuals, appearing as casual visitors, are distributed across the dune. In the midground on the right, a shirtless male in dark shorts stands, while a male in a dark shirt sits near a child in a red shirt. Further into the midground and background, other individuals are standing, sitting, or walking. Some figures in the far background appear to be engaged in sand-related activities, with poles suggestive of sandboarding equipment visible. Four green coconuts, at least one with a straw, are resting on the sand in the midground. On the far left, a lone individual descends the steep dune slope, while another figure is visible ascending a distant section of the dune. The overall scene is illuminated by soft, ambient light, characteristic of twilight.
