Great shots. I imagine that with all that sand it's hard to get a good shot.

Whoa!!! Awesome, awesome images! I agree with what Kerry said on the first shot. I love the angle you shot the 2nd one at, and the colors are perfect!

I love #2. I think it's the weed that makes it. Such solitude.

Love #1 you can grasp the enormousness of it all with the people in it and the way the light captured the shades of sand. #3 was interesting to see the softness and roughness of the two terrains #4 is just awesom. The light greens to the dark green tree to the dark shawdow of the cloud and the contrasting whiteness of the clouds above. Very much enjoyed.

Great shots! It doesn't look to me like you were using a polarizer on those. Were you?

All lovely photos, I liked # 2, the sage brush in the foreground and # 4, the three contrasting textures, sky, sand and green pasture.

Thanks for braving the sand. The perspective in that first shot is incredible.

#2 is very cool with the small dry weed in the vastness, but #4 the immediate beginning of the dunes, the way you showed it is fantastic. Wonderful set.
