13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sand Dunes Sunrise

Photograph was taken in the Sand Dunes south of Florence, Oregon. I tried twice to photograph the Dunes but the wind was so strong it was difficult to protect the camera gear and my eyes from the blowing sand. I was able to capture this image early in the morning just as the sun rose.
