A frozen hearbeat, floating in the warm desert skies.
The tides of the sands drift slowly by, the only hint that moments pass.
We hold our breath for that single heartbeat...
Before light floods the world once more"

My entry to the Weekly Anthro Challenge on Deviantart, this weeks theme was "Time and tide"
I always see the desert as a kind of ocean, so it felt right to have the rolling dunes against a broad cloudscape. I had so much fun paining this picture, Photoshop has to be the most wonderful tool I've ever encountered.
Also, before anyone asks, yes, the background was completely generated in Photo shop, no stock photography.
