SANDS OF TIME (2016) < Previous | Next >

An early morning sunrise at Mesquite Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park. The sky was alive with colors and the warm glow off the sand was truly spectacular. Mesquite Dunes has some truly majestic sand dunes and the backdrop provided by the mountains makes it a great location for photographers - The compositional possibilities are limitless here.

This area is extremely popular with tourists and most times, it is hard to find undisturbed patterns in the sand without a large number of footprints in the foreground. I was lucky that it was the middle of the week and a dust storm the day before had blown over the footprints from earlier and created this nice pattern in the sand. It just goes to show - our footprints on this planet and the universe will also one day likely be smoothed out by the sands of time.
