    Aeolian landscapes are dunes. This looks like bedrock covered with a bit of Aeolian but I wouldn’t call it a full blown aeolian landscape

      Try zooming in and check out the fringing at the edges of many of those rocks. They are ventifacts, carved by the by wind blown sand over eons. Ventifacts are formed by aeolian processes, hence the title. ☺️
