Prehistoric

Behind the Shot.

Venturing into the Great Sand Dunes, I found myself captivated by a different facet of this mesmerizing landscape. As I hiked through the foothills surrounding the dunes, the desert foliage and brush provided rich opportunities for photography. Amidst this arid expanse, I stumbled upon an old, lifeless tree, its bare limbs catching the harsh side light of the sun. The massive sand dunes formed a breathtaking backdrop, already cast in shadow as the sun dipped lower. The juxtaposition was striking – the solitary, sunlit tree stood in stark isolation against the shaded grandeur of the dunes. The play of light and shadow transformed the scene, turning a weathered tree into a focal point against the expansive canvas of the sand dunes subdued backdrop.
