Wow, what a wonderful place to photograph! I have blisters on my feet from hiking here, but it has been worth every painful step. My knees are finally used to crawling up and down the dunes. I can not praise Craig Varjabedian enough for this fantastic experience. I have so many images to share. The dune area is 10miles by 20 miles, so it is big. We hiked in 2 1\/2 miles one way the first day to get some good shot of &#8216;clean&#8217; dunes, meaning with no human footprints. \u00c2\u00a0It is spring break here, so the dunes are covered with young people. They use &#8216;flying saucers&#8217; to go down the snow-like dunes. What fun!!
