Today’s photograph of the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado was made in March, 2024.
I was on a road trip with my friend Jonathan Steele to photograph the Sandhill Cranes in Monte Vista and we made an excursion to the nearby Great Sand Dunes one afternoon.
I have been to the Sand Dunes many times over the years. On this particular day, the weather was nice and the sky had some cool looking clouds. The little specks in the sand are people, which give a good context for how big these sand dunes are. I’ve never tried walking to the top of the dunes, it’s a little more than my old legs can handle.
The photo was made using a Nikon D810 with a 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II lens.
