Beautiful contrasting colors, light and capture. I like the blowing sand at the top. I bet it was hard to protect your camera too. #11157597

Composition so works here Debbie. From the graceful flow down toward the bottom of the frame from the central dune to the diagonal row of echo dunes fading to the right...my eyes are delighted by the detail, shadows, and color. What a special place to be and share through photography. Ann #11157618

I like the blowing sand in this...probably a challenge with your camera to keep it sand free. Beautiful scene!
