This image gives you a different view of the dunes, showing a little bit of the interdune areas. We walked through these areas between the dunes a lot of the time and, of course, noticed the hard ridges that you see in the image. When we asked one of the rangers about them we found out that when the dunes move (which they do constantly with the wind, especially in the spring when it's the most fierce) the forward edge, which is the heaviest and the most dense, leaves these ridges. You can think of them as the dune's footprints, left behind as it moves.
White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA..
Back in October, I took a trip to White Sands National Park in New Mexico, USA with my Flickr friend (and real friend!) Frank Loose. You can say all kinds of horrible things about social media - and you'd be right - but it can (and Flickr, in particular, can) be an amazing way to connect you with people with shared interests. Frank and I connected over ten years ago on Flickr and have become fast friends since then. We've been talking for years about doing a photo trip together and we finally did it in October this year when we travelled to New Mexico to photography White Sands. If you'd like to read about our trip, you're welcome to check out my blog post about it.
White Sands National Park covers about a third of a huge dunefield between the San Andres and Sacramento Mountains in southern New Mexico. White Sands is a bit of a misnomer, as the dunes are actually made of gypsum, not sand, and though they are white in bright sunshine they can take on some amazing colours – from beige to pink to blue – depending on the light conditions. Frank and I photographed the dunes over four days of morning and evening visits and really came to love this magical place. I hope you enjoy this series of images (and do check out Frank’s beautiful work as well!). If you'd like to see the whole series, take a look at my White Sands Album.

Es war sonnig
viele waren unterwegs.
Sie warfen Schatten die wieder verschwanden.
Ich stand da bis sie nicht mehr zu sehen waren und neue Schatten kamen
It was sunny
Many were on the way.
They cast shadows that disappeared.
I stood there until they were no longer visible and new shadows came
