Sand Dunes of White Sands National Monument

Hiking in the sand....
12 October 2002 | ||
 |
||
| The sand is amazing to walk upon... It is very soft on the surface, yet you don't sink in deep.... | ||

| Reached Death Valley and stayed in the middle of the Sand Dunes for four hours until I saw the full moon rising.... | ||
Waiting....
19 January 2003 | ||
 |
||
| The sunset there was not really spectacular... No clouds on the sky... Then several groups ran around a little girl from a Scout group got lost... Meanwhile I just hung around and played with Velvia film on my film SLR.... | ||
First rays of sun on the dunes....
20 January 2003 | ||

||
| The first warm rays of sun came onto the dunes.... | ||

Footsteps in the sand

||
| Too bad I didn't see any critters.... | ||
Full moon over the Dunes
20 January 2003 | ||
 |
||
| This is 400mm at F64! From a tripod... The depth of field was so big, that all the dust shone up as dirt... I removed the dirt with the healing brush and raised the contrast of the moon by 15%. Otherwise this photo is untouched.... | ||
My favourite Dune
