like no place else on earth…

So there’s been this calling to visit White Sands National Park in New Mexico…

Perhaps it’s because of my love of the Sonoran desert these past 25 years…or my overnight stay in the Sahara Desert in Morocco…

Sharing some captures from my recent visit.  So quiet, so beautiful, so special…

Starting with a couple b&w favorites…

And a couple of captures using my Polaroid One Step Land Camera with SX-70 Impossible film during sunset…

And yes, I so want to return!  But then that’s what I say about almost every place I visit.  But there is this desire to check out Black Rock Desert of Nevada and experience Burning Man!  One day!

    It always amazes me that ‘a heap of sand’ can be so extremely beautiful and fascinating. I have never been in a place like this, but I am sure I will be short of eyes.
    Wonderful pictures, as usual. Have a great weekend.

    I would love to take Astrid there one day. The curves are so feminine and sensual. I remember that’s what my sister said about the opening scenes in “The English Patient.” Your images are luscious!

    I have heard so much about Burning Man. That would be incredible to see one day…especially through your eyes!
