Southern Outer Banks. A look to the right in the photo reveals the breaks in the barrier dunes because of Hurricane Florence which caused a lot of damage here. Thanks for your visit and support. Have a relaxing Sunday.
It was a gray day, that day when I took this photo during a walk along the beach and the dunes of Terschelling. I decided to go for this high key in b&w, to emphasize the structures of the sand of the dunes. It seems very rocky now, at least that's how I see it. ;-))
Dunes migrate downwind. The sand grains march up the gentle, upwind slope, then cascade down the steeper slipface. The dunes pile up over the top of other dunes. When they pass, older dunes can be exposed. That is what is seen, commonly, at White Sands. The ridges in the interdune flats are the remnants of the earlier dunes.
We were able to hike in the woods along the lake until July 1 this year before the biting flies made it too miserable to enjoy. Now we’ll be enjoying bike rides and hiking on the dunes for the next several months.
The dune hike at Kohler Andrae State Park is a great work out, with lots of going up & down, keeping your balance on some slippery parts, and a few areas of hiking through sand when it covers up the cordwalk. Even more, you get terrific views the entire hike.
Late afternoon on the western side of the park, there are sand dunes. They aren't large and trying to find a composition seemed more challenging than at the dunes in Colorado. Guadalupe Mountains National Park, New Mexico, USA, May 2016

Just got back from an amazing family holiday in Western Australia for Christmas. I managed to get away for a quick 4 day break down south and finally got back to Esperance, a place I have been desperate to get back to for over 10 years now.
Esperance is famed for its absolutely stunning beaches and I have a few coastal images to process but this was the image that made the whole trip worthwhile for me. I was lucky enough to have some fantastic company, Christian Fletcher, Neal Pritchard, and Flemming Bo Jensen as well as Dan Paris who was kind enough to show us all this fantastic location. I had an amazing time down south and I cant wait to do it all again in the future. I have always wanted to shoot sand dunes and these were just incredible.
I got to use Christians 60 mp phase one camera and now I want one soo badly, just incredible detail and the prints are even more incredible.
Anyway this is my first image of 2011 and if I get two or three more I'm this happy with this year I'll be very happy! I'll try and catch up with streams etc as soon as I can.

Evening sky above trackless sand dunes, Death Valley National Park.
On our late-March to these sand dunes we arrived late in the day under sky that was starting to fill with high clouds in the west. At times the clouds were thick enough to block the light and lower the contrast to an extent that seemed “beyond subtle.” But as the clouds moved thinner areas passed in front of the sun, and this was enough to give the light at least a bit of directionality. In clearer skies, the sand here would have been extremely bright, and the background sky with thin clouds would have appeared much darker.
In the end, I came away with some files that held enough contrast to work with in post, where I could focus attention on the variations in light and color on the curved dunes. By moving close to the base of the dunes I was able to angle the camera upwards and eliminate everything from the background except for the sky.

The Eureka Dunes lie in the remote Eureka Valley, an enclosed basin at 3000 foot elevation located northwest of Death Valley, they are the tallest sand dunes in California, the tallest in all of North America. They rise suddenly more than 680 feet above the dry lakebed at their western base.
I'm still in the process of uploading some of my travel shots from the past few years, and am now onto a few from Morocco trip in 2012 which I never got around to putting up.
Ive uploaded a similar one to this before but prefer this one.

Te Paki stream, New Zealand. I think this is toetoe grass, but if a local wants to correct me..........
After a couple of miles driving out here in my stock Jeep, I came to a stop behind someone who was stuck. I decided to turn around. Of course, we were then stuck too. A quick air down though and we were rolling again.
This is my homeland: sun, sand, sky... and behind the dunes, the sea.
Dunas da Praia de Flexeiras, Trairi, Ceará, Brasil, 2008.
Looking back up at the way to get back from the beach - always reminded that it is much easier coming down the dunes.
Thank you very much for the visit, faves and comments. Cheers....from a short holiday at Peregian. Peregian Beach is a small seaside town on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, at the southernmost point of the Noosa region. It is one of the few beach places close to Brisbane that has not been consumed by ugly high rise, high density living.

Dune 45 is named for its proximity to Sesrium Gate. It is situated 45km from the gate, along a paved road and is easily reached using a 2×4 vehicle. Its fascinating shape and accessibility makes it the most photographed dune in the world.
The dunes of the Namib Desert were created by sand carried by the wind from the coast of Namibia. The sand here is 5 million years old and is red in colour due to its iron oxide content. As the lighting changes with the time of day, so does the appearance of the dunes’ characteristic colour, allowing for interesting photographs at any time. The wind in the Sossusvlei area blows from all directions, which means that the type of the dunes here are known as “star dunes”. The winds causes the sand to form a star shape with multiple arms.
