Black Sand Beach is on Big Island in Hawaii. You can sea it on the road from Kona to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The black sand is obviously the result of the volcanic activity on Big Island.

i know everyone does it but hey i love the footsteps in the sand idea.

I am fascinated by the layers of traces piling up on top of each other, disappearing underneath and occasionally being retrieved again.

The Western Desert, (Libyan Desert), of Egypt is a desert dwellers joy with miles of dunes, canyons, oases, mountainous plateaus, and valleys.

These beautiful mountains picture are on the edge of the great sand sea, near the Egypt and Libya border.

I have to admit, as beautiful as the sand dunes on top of the behemoth “Cerro Blanco” are, I struggled to find a good angle to photograph sunrise. I raced around looking for a position that included: weaving dunes, interesting sand patterns, the green bush sprouting in the sand, and badlands thousands of feet below. Running on sand was slow and there wasn’t much time to spare as the glow of sunrise started to fade. Fortunately, this great view with dramatic side-lighting presented itself with enough time to spare.

Taken at North Beach while I was doing some long exposures. Nothing special but I thought the sand kicking up around the gull was worth sharing.
