Golden boy in the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. Photo taken at Sunset with the backdrop being the Sangre de Cristo Range, in south-central Colorado, United States The red-tinted, and the golden sunset brings to life the “Sangre de Cristo” (“Blood of Christ”) as seen in 1719 by the Spanish explorer Antonio Valverde y Cosio. Snapping this photo was like stepping into nature's glory with my grandson. Sharing the experiences of nature and enjoying the simple grandeur of our Earth.
