Description
Great Sand Dunes National Park, just outside Alamosa, Colorado.
It's a magical place. The highest dune rises about 700 feet above the valley floor!
I posted an image of this same place back in April. Click here for a better sense of scale and distance.

Wonderful capture I remember that last photo - very impressive
Great photo Tara. One of the places we will visit next year.
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
What a stunning shot....
I think your foreground inclusion helps also with depth Nice photography my dear!
Interesting shot...Excellent. Aloha
I feel cheated when the sea is more than a mile away! This photo could so easily be at Studland Bay.
Lovely shot Tara. BTW I have posted a shot for you.
Oh Tara - this is beyong beautiful! Reminds me SO of Namibia!
Very interesting composition :)
Excellent shot and composition!
ohhh. I really like this. This makes two favs I found in one day. awesome.
A fabulous shot. These dunes are pretty high. Are you sure the ocean isn't just over the rise? This looks like a cat's dream come true.
Wonderful pic and beautifully composed.
This is the type of photographic art, I really love ... "a bit of this and a bit of the other" - LOL no, in all seriousness this is mindboggling beautiful and outstanding, an instant FAV ... a whole series of these dunes would be incredible, and would do really well in a life art-gallery ;P BB
This is just gorgeous; the oh, so sweet and soft sand, with the wood in front; seems like the beach should be right over the top!!
A very nice 'glowy' look to this shot!
Makes you wonder how that wood got there.
Beautiful image Hugs Susan
Wow - what a sense of depth! This is a great shot, Tara! I'd love to visit this place!
What a dreamlike feel this image has! Beautiful light and composition...
what a incredible picture! so straight and so soft, both in one, and this perfect light and lanscape!
Only an artists eye could catch this. Excellent.
WOW... WOW... WOW...this is so gorgeous. I love this composition! You have saved my day!
Magical. Your eye for composition is just superb.
So quiet and peaceful.. Lovely! Rob
Beautiful pOv and image composition.
Beautiful capture! The light has both an intensity and a softness. The rough and extremely defined texture of the wood contrasts with the soft texture of the distant dunes. The composition is excellent and the lighting flawless.
