Sand-Düne unter Dach
• Andere Häuser sind teilweise schon vom Sand begraben, vereinzelt schieben sich Dünen bereits zum Dach hinauf.
• Other houses are partially buried by the sand, scattered dunes already move up to the roof.
The dunes were in a remote part of the beautiful Ningaloo reef in Western Australia
The sun was setting and casting soft lighting across the sands.. This was the best of the photos and the conditions pretty much set the shot up.
MESQUITE FLAT DUNES - DEATH VALLEY CALIFORNIA
Deep shadows at sunrise accentuate the soft curvature of the dunes.
Location: Witsand Beach, near Misty Cliffs.
Description: Yesterday afternoon I met up with Martin, Leon, Hendrik and Grea for a sunset photoshoot at one of my favourite photographic locations of all time… Witsand beach!
Although I have been known to chase away the clouds as soon as I appear with my D300… fortunately Leon is a cloud-magnet and ensured that we had a sky full of pretty puffs and nice white whisps! Thanks Leon… I really needed another dose of nephological action!!
This was one of my first photographs of the day… there are plenty more to come! :)

Lots of tracks in the sand during this trip to Death Valley in January, but I guess that's just a reason to go back. If anybody really enjoys using the clone tool in Photoshop, lemme know and you'll have the time of your life fixing this one up!
Dunes have always fascinated me because of their textures and geometries, colours and contrasts. They are mobile, forming and reforming and it's just never the same when you get there. They are like waves in water, just much much slower. An then there is life, little grasses and little flowers or bones. Well, step back from the image and discover the track of a tinny creepy crawler. I find it amazing how it stands out.

MESQUITE FLAT SAND DUNES DEATH VALLEY CALIFORNIA
The early morning light and shadows bring out the details of the dunes while individual grains of sand sparkle like stars against a colored background.
This alcove is one of the great hidden gems in the Wave (Coyote Buttes North) area and is on par with the Wave. The patterns and colors on the walls are unique. Other than the alcove, a sand dune rises from the center. We hiked to the top of sand dune to take some cool photos.
One thing I love about desert photography is how simple and clean the compositions can be. To further accentuate this effect, I used a telephoto lens to compress it against the glowing sand dune behind it.

Eureka sand dunes at Death Valley National Park, where it's only about a few hours away from the snowy Sierra Nevada and only a day's drive from the Pacific ocean. Only in California.
The red sand dunes are slowly covering up this dead tree. A shot from my recent trip to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia
Color version does have a lot more detail specially the subtle shades of blue up in the sky. Shooting dunes after rain and enjoying the untouched sand is such a great pleasure...

Spent the afternoon yesterday at the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. What a workout to walk on the Dunes. It was a calm day around the park and campgrounds, but out on the Dunes the wind was whipping up the sand within its wave like features. This is the Southeast edge of the Dunes. Distance is deceiving, between the Dune and the mountain BG are miles of 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.
