Windswept Sand Dunes of Death Valley, California

Sand dunes are shaped by a particular tool of erosion, wind. It's not rare to see them in action but it's rare to see them photographed. This day was particularly windy and you can really see the wind sweeping the sand all over the place in the Mesquite Dunes of Death Valley.

It was good for me because it provided respite from the hot sun and climate. Not so good for my camera because changing lenses proved to be quite a challenge without sand getting into the sensor.

Have you been to a sand dune?
