Death Valley National Park, California

This time around I wanted to celebrate what is unique to these sand dunes.
To set off the sensual smoothness of the dunes I included the counterpoints of the crusty patches and mesquite that dot the landscape.

Another great shot. The contrast between the smooth sand dunes and the small part of visible rock with such a particular design is great. But even better the small steps in the sand to the rock and back to the dunes. V

What a scene of tranquility. And one untouched by human footsteps.

WOW, Zane ... This is a real treasure. I love the feeling of smoothness that the sand transmits
