Rolling Dunes
Closer view of a dune crest, or "whaleback". The movement of the dune has almost completely buried the small shrub in the middle of the image. It's a difficult environment for anything that can't move fast enough to get out of the way of a migrating dune.
The late afternoon light greatly enhanced the contrast of the ripples. I added a sepia tone to warm the image.
