Scientists usually try to find out the earliest date the dunes started forming, but it can be very tricky. The age of an individual grain of sand can certainly be dated, sometimes even to millions and millions of years ago. Unfortunately, the age of one particular grain of sand doesn’t reveal when the grain of sand actually started to be part of a sand dune.

Watching the coast
This place (Great Sand Dunes CO)
has always seemed a bit odd to me. Well up in the snow capped mountains and 700 foot sand dunes. Add a snow melt river and it is a unique place. You have to walk through this cold river to get back to the dunes.

I shot this collection of photographs at White Sands during twilight, some in the early morning hours, but most in the evening. When the sun is below the horizon, the dunes and sky take on a magical presence. The dunes reflect the sky which can range from warm to cool, and there is a magical fifteen minutes when the sky away from the compass point of sunrise or sunset develops a glow of reds and oranges.
In late October, I made a trip to New Mexico to shoot the dunes at White Sands National Park. I hooked up with my close friend and photographer, Sandra Herber. www.flickr.com/photos/sandraherber/ We were at White Sands four days, made eight excursions into the dunes, hiked over 20 miles and shot close to 2,000 photos between us.
We are posting our images at the same time and it will be interesting to see how we handled being in the same locations together. For safety reasons and for the fun of it, we hiked the dunes together, sometimes pointing our lenses in the same direction, other times wandering apart. I am sure we got some similar shots, but it will be interesting to see those that are different as we each have our own way of looking at things, as well as having different focal length coverage. Then there is the processing aspect.
To say White Sands is magical is an understatement. As photographers, we talk about the light, emphasize the light, are critical about the light. The dunes at White Sands react in amazing ways to the change in light, offering different looks, revealing various personalities. It is this diversity of the dunes that I wanted to capture then, and present here now.
Fox aware some one was taking a photograph.It looks like the same one that wanders down to the beach.
Thanks all for looking and adding to your favorites.
I was going through some old shots from White Sands, NM. I almost threw it out because it was so monochromatic. Luminosity masks to the rescue!

The sand Dunes along the shore of Lake Michigan. The young family stands out even in the great expanse of the dunes.
GREAT SAND DUNES NATIONAL PARK COLORADO
We started out early that morning before the crowds swarm over the frontal dunes. Our goal was to climb the frontal dunes and enter the back dune complex where few enter. There is no direct access up as you climb one dune to its end and then drop down into an interdune area only to climb up the next higher dune. Soft sand and steep angles do not make for an easy climb. My wife graciously allowed me to plod ahead of her at my own pace. I had just sat down after exploring a nearby dune only to see her slowly moving up the ridge in front of me. We both eventually made it to the dune crest shown on the upper right of this image. A group of three hikers are visible on the crest. One hiker told us we were on the summit of High Dune. High Dune is the third highest dune in the park rising 708 feet from its base to its crest at an elevation of 8727 feet above sea level. One has a full 360-degree view of the dune complex from this point. Only Star Dune (750 feet) and Hidden Dune (741 feet) are higher. Great Sand Dunes has the tallest dunes in North America.
We took the bus to Sand Dunes by Nida on Curian Spit, 30 miles south. It was not allowed to get too close to the highest point; it’s the common border with Russia. Back in town we visited the “Thomas Mann” house, from the outside, it was closed. Luckily we didn’t miss the last bus back to Klaipèda.
Colourful red flowers - I assume poppies but I am happy to be corrected - amongst the sand dunes - Bamburgh, Northumberland, England. Quite an unusual sight I think. There was a sign about the "flora" there which mentioned some non native species - I am not sure if these are what it was referring to.
