Great Sand Dunes National Park

Waiting for the sun to set at Great Sand Dunes National Park.

A very windy day, which caused all sorts of challenges with both taking a shot as well as keeping the kit clean and grit-free.

The talc-like power that accumulated in pockets, hoods, hats, shoes, etc, was amazing. I was cleaning it out of everywhere (and places I thought it couldn't get into) for about 10 days after returning from the trip.

A beautiful National Park, glad I decided to stay for sunset.

    Really good, Al. Excellent control of the demanding and varied lighting. I'm not sure I'd be up to dealing with that dust stuff.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thank you Tom....the sand and talc-like dust was with me for some time.

    I was amazed where I found the "stuff" even a few months after my return. I actually covered my camera and lens with a tarp and took it off only when I was ready to fire the remote shutter release.

    I did however return home with a pair nicely exfoliated legs...note to self, next time wear long pants!
