Description

Death Valley Dunes, Sinuous sculptures of sand Just to conclude the B&W series, posted last week, a full colour photo made in this fantastic area!! Hope you like it, Thanks very much for your time passing by my B&W series and for your very kind comments. A special thank you for them awarding one of the photo’s as their favorite image!! Death Valley's most accessible sand dunes are just a few miles from Stovepipe Wells. Tucked into Mesquite Flat in the north end of the park, these dunes are nearly surrounded by mountains on all sides. The primary source of the dune sands is probably the Cottonwood Mountains which lie to the north and northwest. The tiny grains of quartz and feldspar that form the sinuous sculptures that make up this dune field began as much larger pieces of solid rock. Have a very nice week Henk
