Late afternoon sun accentuates the multiple scales of sand textures- ripples, waves, ridges, dips, and grains. Footprints across the bottom of the dune towards the middle provides some scale to the scene.

The dunes are the result of sand blown from an ancient lake bed in the rift valley to the west (left of the photo), and occasional strong winds blown from mountain passes in the Sangre de Cristos from the east. The combination of these opposing winds has built up the dunes to heights of over 700 feet (200 m) above the valley floor.

the vivid green at this time of the year is fabulous. The lizard was undisturbed, with its body flattened to catch as much warmth as possible. Go large and lose yourself in the maze of colours..
