Description
The gentle curve of a wind-swept dune embraces the alkali flats that are typical of the gypsum sands at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. A narrow ridge of mountains separates the lower part of the composition, dominated by the play of light and shadow on the rippled surface of the dunes, from the upper part where the soft shapes of clouds and the dramatic colors of the sunset sky command our attention.

Always wanted to go there - and now even more - well done!

Put it on your bucket list. It's worth it. Just be sure to schedule in a couple of days so that you can increase your chances of hitting a beautiful sunrise or sunset :) Thanks for the look and comment.

Everything about this is spectacular: the subtle tonal differences between sand and sky, shadows in the foreground and mountain silhouette that separates sand and sky. The composition is perfect. F/L
