Sand and Sky

On November 18, 2015November 17, 2015 By Mike and Christy

Working our way up the ridges towards the sky in Great Sand Dunes National Park. Being in a landscape of essentially two elements felt oddly strange and yet serene. Simple yet complex. On first glance simple but with each probe further the simplicity and patterns repeat. Sky and Sand then sand and wind and so it goes. November, 2015.

Beautiful shot. I love it there, how the designs change with the wind, and how footprints disappear, and all the little critter footprints all over. Makes you wonder how they can survive. I love the waves and patterns.
Peace,
Mary

  Hi Mary, I could not agree more and we took several photos of tracks of little footprints going up over and around various dunes. Fun stuff for sure. Hope your day is going well.

I was at Great Sand Dunes National Park for the first time a few months ago and was awestruck. Such an interesting and surreal place.

Your words adds even more to this great photo and brings memory of my time spend in the desert a few years ago…

Very nice and I’m glad it’s in color, the blue sky and tan sand are just meant to be together..

  Hi Eliza, it is a mesmerizing place to monkey around with a camera at. So many shapes, lines and shadows.
