Thanks Eddie. Probably my favorite place in Colorado but you have to early or late in the day before the shadows are gone. Now that I know it's dog friendly I'll be getting down there more. Definately next spring when there is some water in Medano Creek and i'll have to see about this winter. I hate the cold and snow but I'll bet it would look pretty good with some snow.

I heard about this, but never got to see it while I loved there. Great shot!

If you ever get back try for May or early June when you have water in Medano Creek. It really adds to the experience.

It's a little darker than real life but I like the way it brought out the ridges in the sand. And I've found there is usually enough wind to clear the slate of footprints over night. Then I just have to beat the crowd.

I've never managed to beat the crowd yet... I've always had to walk quite a bit to get half a chance for a shot.

I like it slightly dark like this. it does seem to bring out more detail.

Awesome, I want to go to this place so bad. Great composition, love the leading lines and the variety of dune textures.
