Hope ya like this shot!
Maybe someone with photo editing skills can really do it justice, but still -- there's something about the lighting, scenery, & subdued color scheme that I really dig:

I first became aware of the Great Sand Dunes National Park when flying over the Rockies:

30 square miles of dunes almost 1,000 feet tall.
Thank goodness for Porschephiles; without them, I never would have gotten around to seeing the dunes at eye level

Sand ... lots & lots of it
