Description
The undulating shapes of the gypsum dunes at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico are never more beautiful than in the early morning light when the rising sun is still low enough that the play of light and shadow on the sand is pronounced. In the background here are the Oscura Mountains (most likely) which lie to the north of the Tularosa Basin where the dunefield is located; the San Andres Mountains are to the west .

This shot is epic! Good luck in the big mountains contest. I'd love to see this in non-FAA resolution, as those sand ripples look amazing
Rudolf Volkmann
Incredibly beautiful contrast in light and dark and smooth and ragged texture.
Nikolyn McDonald replied:
Thank you. The ever shifting landscape shows best in early or late light when the shadows are strongest. I do love this place.
