Very cool, conifers (instead of palms) in the sand are an unexpected sight!

Nice point of view... were these baby conifers or were you really hovering 5 meters off the ground?! :)

@Bishop: The conifers are being slowly buried by the sand dunes so I could touch the lower brances. I used a wide angle lens which is pointed down at my feet with my shoes just out of the frame. The man and his dog in the distance are at the top of a tall sand dune which I think was higher than the trees.
