Heute haben wir die UFO-Stadt wieder verlassen. \u2013 Und wir sind nicht bei denen hier mitgefahren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we left the UFO city behind us. \u2013 And we did not take a ride with these here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sch\u00f6n war es auf jeden Fall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was for sure nice here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ja, ALLE waren sehr freundlich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, ALL of them were very friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Da beobachtet uns doch schon wieder jemand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somebody is watching us again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir fahren aber trotzdem! \u2013 Und nach einer Weile konnten wir vom Highway schon sehen, wo wir hin wollen: der wei\u00dfe Streifen in der Ferne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we are leaving! \u2013 And after a while we could see from the highway where we want to go: the white stripe in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zu unserer Linken sah es aber auch interessant aus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our left though it also looked interesting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und dann waren wir endlich da: White Sands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then finally we reached our destination: White Sands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wie der Name sagt, gibt es hier jede Menge Sand …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name says, there is lots of sand here \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sozusagen! Denn das hier ist Gips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, so to say! Because that here is gypsum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All diese D\u00fcnen geh\u00f6ren zu den seltensten Landschaften auf der Erde. Nur eine Handvoll von Gips-D\u00fcnen existieren. \u2013 Und dies ist das gr\u00f6\u00dfte solche D\u00fcnensystem! Astronauten k\u00f6nnen diese D\u00fcnen vom All aus sehen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dunefield is one of the rarest landscaped on Earth. Only a tiny handful of gypsum dune systems exist. \u2013 And this one is the largest! Astronauts can see these dunes clearly from space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Es gibt hier auch ein paar Tierchen, aber tags\u00fcber sieht man nur ihre Spuren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some animals that live here, but during the day you only spot their tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Da die D\u00fcnen stets wandern, m\u00fcssen Pflanzen schnell wachsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the dunes are constantly shifting, plants must grow fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eine faszinierende Landschaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fascinating landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Manchmal sieht es aus wie Schnee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it looks like snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und die Rastpl\u00e4tze wirken auch wie bei der Skih\u00fctte …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the rest areas also look like just next to the skiing chalet \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Naja, wir waren recht lange da … und haben dann doch Tierchen entdeckt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we stayed for quite a while \u2026 and then did discover animals after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Erst einen Schwarzk\u00e4fer … und dann:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First a darkling beetle … and then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eine \u201cgebleichte ohrlose Eidechse\u201d. Die haben sich mit der Farbe angepasst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bleached earless lizard. They adapted with their colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mehr haben wir leider nicht gefunden …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately we did not find more than that \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 und au\u00dferdem wurde es jetzt dunkel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… and anyhow, it started to get dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also: Gute Nacht!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So: Good night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
