Description
Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve, outside Alamosa, Colorado.
The tallest dune is somewhere around 750 feet, and it isn't in this picture.
This is an amazing landscape. We're sitting somewhere around 8,000 feet above sea level on the edge of a huge plain surrounded by mountain peaks. Over in the northeast-ish corner of this big flat bowl lies a 30-mile-square dune field.

Just simply awesome Wish I were there walking It must of been a beautiful scene: 10stars too....********** A fav with me Hugs Susan~
Love this huge dune vs two people !
We have been there twice. It is amazing.
Very cool and impressive view
great shot, looks like a scene from one of those Mars colonisation movies.
Wow! I LOVE this! What a fantastic 'scape this is, you'd have a hard time getting me away from here. Excellent composition and capture...
Wow! How grand is that! Beautiful pic.
I really like this shot Tara. Fantastic!
A phenomenal image, I do like the composition, especially the scale you are showing us here, with the two ant-like humans taking a 'stroll' - can't be as easy, as it looks ;)) I wonder if you could do that barefoot? I love the feel of sand between my feet and toes, I am so used to it ... and anyway you are visiting the Dunes, at the right time of the year, IMO and after perusing the extra info, you gave us with the climate data ... and the hint of lavender is superb! KUDOS Tara, I love this big wide open space of 'emptiness' ... called Sand! BB
wow this is wonderful
Absolutely stunnng! Including the figures was a stroke of brilliance - it would be impossible to wrap one's head around the size of these dunes without them. I'm assuming you didn't see any of those gigantic worms while you were there... Amazing capture, Tara!
Those two could be trekking across the Sahara. Looks amazing in zoom. Outstanding image.
omgosh!! 750 feet. Did you take a sled! I want to go. This place looks seriously fun.
wow, heroic scape !
There's an awful lot of sand there.
Wonderful :)
this is stunning and an immediate favourite
Excellent picture Love it!!!!
Words fail me! If I had taken this, I would be walking on water for at least a week. This must be one of the best photos I´ve seen on here in years. I will pop it into my "Fav´s" as a reminder to myself, what world class photography is all about.
Gosh! Consumate skilled photography,Tara.
What scenery! The dunes look like velvet and the light shades exquisite. ..
All I can utter at the moment is WOW!!!!! What a glorious shot. Can't wait to have you and Bill here in Southern Africa... this is just like the Namib!
Superb capture Tara. i am enjoying both you and bill's travel pictures. God bless.
What a big sand box for the grandchildren to play in? Beautiful...
This is so beautiful in full zoom Tara.

OH Tara, This is absolutely astonishing. Here we can really see the scale WOW WOW !! Super capture.
