Shadow Play on the Great Sands by Kurt Lawson, on Flickr


5d2, 100-400@ 350mm, 1/500th, f/13, ISO 500

I am so glad I visited this magical park, which I really learned about seeing other people's photos on this forum. It's a magical place.

Hey Kurt,

That is some very nice light and shadow play on the dunes. I wonder if this is still accessible with the shutdown?

I don't see how they can stop people from walking out there.

Beautiful capture, those sand dunes look petrified.

It's probably barricaded at the entry to the park. Indeed they probably can't exactly keep you from walking out there, but if you can't get into the park you're going to have to walk a LOT farther just to get to the dunes.

Nice shot.

Was planning on heading down there soon, but if the gate is closed, that's a FAR walk. I'm too lazy for that!

The light playing on the trees and mid-way up the dunes really make this pic special.

Striking interplay of light and shadow. A frame filling shot of the dunes would also look goog imo.

Depends on where they have presumably closed the road I guess. You can measure distance easy enough in Google Earth. Actually doesn't look that bad now that I actually looked tat the map. About a mile or so. Still, a mile is a lot further than 0.1 miles.
