Wind writes. Sand remembers.

Twilight Ripples studies the Great Sand Dunes at dusk — warm tan windward slopes against deep blue shadow, ripple after ripple pulling the eye toward the jagged silhouette of the Sangre de Cristos. Desert dunes at the foot of alpine peaks: a contrast that should not exist, and does. Part of the Desert Peaks collection. Composed, not photographed.
