This month’s photo comes from Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, in southwestern Utah. We visited the dunes in January; unlike other dunes I’ve visited, the sand here is full of iron oxides, giving it a brilliant red-pink color. At sunset, the color gets even more brilliant. The state park is an excellent place for camping and recreation, but the beauty of visiting in January is that you have the place to yourself. Despite the brilliance of the entire dunes, I created this intimate landscape as the sun was going down, and its been one of my favorite photos of 2010 so far.
Hope you enjoy the photo! To see all my shots from Coral Pink Sand Dunes, click here.
