More White Sands by Day

OK, last daylight photographs from White Sands National Monument.  For people who live in New Mexico, they go to White Sands as we would go to Jones Beach.  You can rent these plastic dishes at the visitor, and kids were having a ball sliding down the dunes and then climbing back up.  There were hundreds of kids doing this.

I walked up on one of the dunes with Gowri when we first arrived at White Sands and we took pictures of each other.  Then Gowri asked if I would take a photograph of him jumping, which I did.

This is Chirag descending a dune.  The human figure is so small in this expansive landscape.

This is Stan and three of the tents set up down below the dunes.  Look, two tripods.  You can tell that we are photographers.

This is Chirag and Stan hiking out of the dunes and out of our campsite.  The orange markers are what you look for to find the trail to the campsites.  They are fairly difficult to see at some distances.

This is a photograph of Stan taking a photograph.  Once again, a tiny figure in a huge landscape.
