An Evening On The Dunes

Every image tells a story but when viewing this image you'd never guess how it came to be.

 

I was on a mission to get to the North Algodones Dunes Wilderness in Southern California on the Mexican border before Sunset... I left Phoenix Az. early enough, I thought, to drive the 211 miles, but I had only been there one other time and I thought I would have plenty of time to shoot the Sunset and then some...I was a bit off in my calculation.

 

I barely made it in time to capture just a few images before the Sun was gone and I was left standing there in darkness. On any other night, like a Moonless night, that would have been fine, but it was a full moon, and the clouds of a storm was moving fast across the desert.

 

I am happy with the images I was able to capture. Next time, I'll make sure I have plenty of time to travel the two-lane, winding road to get there.
