Great Sandwich Dunes
A recent trip through Colorado with Kevin Benedict yielded a lot of interesting photos that I am just starting to process. We started in Great Sand Dunes National Park near Alamosa CO. We had hoped for a great sunrise shot but the clouds were thick in the morning. A few hours later they had thinned out in to a layer hanging right over the sand dunes yielding this abstract view with the grassy plains in the lowest layer, the dunes, a couple of layers of clouds (the icing?) and a topping of western blue sky.
I loved the bold colors and the way that each element stood out in almost pure geometric layering. This turned out to be one of my favorite shots of the trip.
The sand dunes are very high (tallest ones about 700 feet), though they don't look it at a distance.
Taken with Pentax K-3ii, Pentax 60-250mm lens (at 70mm) and B+W Circular Polarizer (helps with the bold colors and contrast).
