white sands


Leah and I drove down to White Sands National Monument. She called it a must see destination for any photographer.

We had the park to ourselves, especially Monday morning when we went to catch the sunrise. Only thing we missed was a full moon hike on the dunes, as they run only in summer.

The dunes are made of gypsum, which is why they're white. Yet they're covered in various extraterrstrial blooms (OK, soapstone yucca).
