Stovepipe Wells Sand Dunes - Death Valley

Just back from a few weeks doing all the usual sights 'best of the west' - many pictures to follow.
I think of all the places visited Death Valley left the greatest impression. I have never experienced heat like it. This was taken just before sunset only about 400 yards from the car which half an hour earlier read 116 deg F. As the sun went down the wind got up which made the return journey a little worrying protecting kit - certainly no lens changes!

The light is underlining the shape of the sand dunes. Well done - and 116 deg, is serious... v

Timeless.
So many contrasts. Gracious, almost sensuous curves against a rugged backdrop. Dark and light. Fertile and barren. New and quickly changing against old and slowing eroding. Looking forward to seeing more.

Excellent Chris, I really like the mix of contrasting and complimentary shapes in the sand and the rocks....and the super light!

Yep, we were there during the day - a brisk 48°C/119°F when I got out of the car!! Nicely framed with the distant hills in the background, their sharp features make a lovely contrast to the smoothness of the dunes...V
