White Sands
Pure white gypsum, not even really sand, from an ancient lake bed. This amazing dune field is located just over the mountains and a bit northeast of Las Cruces in southern New Mexico. Surrounded entirely by military installations it is a vast field of pure whiteness that raises about 40 feet off the desert floor. It was blowing very hard the day these images were captured, so with a much smaller kite I managed to get the camera up about 200-250 feet above the dunes.
