Great Sand Dunes Sunset

The day’s last light skims horizontally across the landscape, bringing the texture of the dunes to life, and painting a distant rainstorm over the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range.

 

“This image is immediately striking, but as you look at it for a few moments the many facets of the scene emerge. There’s the starburst sun hanging just above the horizon, the texture of the sand dunes, the brooding clouds, the rain shower being lit up by the warm sunlight and the snow-covered mountain summit.”
