15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Vista For a Rare Spirit

I took this image on top of the Kelso Dunes sand dunes in the Mojave Desert. Only a short distance from Los Angeles, the desert offers a totally unique landscape and experience from the urban city. What results is a landscape that echoes prehistoric times devoid of civilization.
