The "Shifting Sands"

Wind-sculpted perfection at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. There is something incredibly hypnotic about the way the late afternoon sun catches the crest of every ripple, turning the valley floor into a sea of contrasting light and shadow.

Pushing in with the 70-200mm lens was the perfect way to compress these delicate, sweeping lines and isolate the abstract patterns of the sand against the rugged mountain backdrop. A brief moment of stillness in an ever-shifting landscape.
