Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Plenty of surrealism and mystery in this photo! This traveler finds himself in a strange land. A 'gate change' has landed him in unfamiliar territory. Pulling his luggage behind him, silhouetted against the sands, he scans the rolling dunes where there is a spectacular play of light and shadow. Alone in the desert without another soul to be seen, he wanders in search of someone or something familiar. Great light, great mood, and tells a chapter in the story of life's journey. For we all feel like this stranded traveler at some point in our lives. Well done!
