Photo Details

Title: Baked Earth & Sand Dunes
State/Province/Region: California
Country: United States

Description: An early afternoon start readied us for the long walk in search of the perfect dunes to photograph as the sun got lower in the horizon. While I was photographing the beautiful lines of the dunes earlier in the day, I noticed the baked earth patterns. I thought of returning to photograph as the sun got lower in the horizon. What drew me to this scene was a lone shrub at the top of a dune and the abstract baked earth patterns below it. I used the lines in the foreground to lead the eye to the lone shrub. This photograph was made at Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley National Park, CA
