Description
They say that the three's a charm. That was certainly my experience with the sand dunes at Death Valley National Park, California.
I had seen a few images of the sand dunes in the past, and couldn't rest until I could photograph them myself. My husband and I made 3 trips to the park so I could capture my own images of this beautiful desert landscape.
Trip one: too late. What I didn't factor in is that sunset is not really "sunset" when you have mountains to deal with. The sun set behind the western range long before the official sunset time, and I was too late to get those amazing shadows.
Trip two: too early. We arrived at the dunes as a part of a larger road trip. Unfortunately, we made better time than expected and it was still several hours until the "magic" would happen. I snapped a few pics and we left.
Trip three: just right! We were ALMOST too late. I had not anticipated the time needed to cross dune after dune in 107 degree heat to reach virgin areas, without footprints. But I did it! I thought I was going to pass out - but I did it! :)
