Evening at the dunes - Death Valley

















After photographing the Mesquite Flat Dunes from the side of the highway a few miles away, we continued on to the dunes themselves to explore and photograph them at sunset.  When we arrived at the dunes the wind was blowing quite strongly and was whipping sand everywhere.  We were wearing shorts and the blowing sand stung as it hit our legs.  Still, it was a very beautiful evening and we really enjoyed our time at the dunes.  Another inconvenience is that there were people everywhere, making it hard to find a composition without any people in the background.  As such, there are some people in the distance in this photo, but they do help lend a sense of scale to the scene.
