A Road Less Traveled

This morning I found myself in one of my favorite places in all of Colorado, Great Sand Dunes National Park. After getting up at 5am and hiking up the tallest sand dune in North America (while already at 8,000 ft of elevation) I was greeted to an awesome sunrise. Following that epic light, I ventured further into the dunes and happened to capture some beautiful light dancing across the dunes like this image below. However this was before things got crazy and I found myself in the middle of a 60 mph sand storm. I was still 3 miles from my car when it started to rain at the same time. Needless to say it was certainly an adventure. I was prepared and all my pro gear is fine, but my Canon s95 (that I used to take this photo) is being sent back to the repair shop. Apparently a $300 P&S camera is not weather sealed…who knew?

I made it The Great Sand Dunes National Park and set up my office for the next couple days. This is certainly one of my favorite places in Colorado. Great Sand Dunes National Park offers an amazing array of sand dunes (the tallest in the US) set against the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

I have spotty internet, so I will be in an out for the next few days, but I will certainly try to share what I can and hopefully find a way to hold a live hangout while I shoot sunrise or sunset out here. The gods of cell phone coverage might be against us on that one, but I will try
