"Our doom is, to be sifted by the wind,
heaped up, smoothed down like silly sands.
We are less permanent than thought." -B. Bunting

One final photo from the sand dunes. It's been a pleasure for me to dedicate the last few days to editing and organizing the photos from my outing rather than taking new photos. Thank you for remaining interested in the desert landscape and the photos I captured there.
Magnificent dunes shots. Lisa, I have really enjoyed all of these shots. Fav

@happysnap Thanks for the suggestion, Linda. I didn't think to do that before but just gave it a try and have to say, I like it a lot - I think even better than the color version. So glad you mentioned that!
