Mesquite Sand Dune Ripple Abstract 4

I hiked out to the Mesquite Sand Dunes expecting to concentrate on capturing the peaks of the dunes with the telephoto, but after wandering around and not getting anything particularly productive, I turned my attention down, to the textures and ripples in the low angle of winter sunlight that caught my eye for abstract opportunities. There’s something oddly soothing about capturing abstract compositions of these ripples and I’ve always been a sucker for the complementary colors of the warm sand and cool blue shadows.
