Re: picturePkfrancev--Thanks! I took the image a number of times (I do love digital!), including several horizontals. But I too felt that the horizontal division was better emphasized in this one. I almost titled it "Layers on Layers", but decided against it since that doesn't help anyone using SP's search engine if they're interested in images of the dunes.
Again, thanks for taking a look!

Reminds me of anupside down view of Mt. Blanc. There are lots of good pix of the top of Mt. Blanc with sand dune effects in the snow drifts. In such pictures, the Crestones are replaced by the Aiguilles but they are below the summit of Mt. Blanc.

Re: AmazingThanks, Vladislav. I think the descriptions are just as important--they help give the image context.

Re: Beautiful!Thanks, BergClmbr7! Yeah, I had a really tough time climbing High Dune (8691') on day 2 of our trip, so I was a bit worried about attempting a 14'er on day 7. But Green Mountain (8563') went well on day 6, so I was pretty confident that I had adapted to the altitude and could make the 14'er. It was still tough for me (Curtis beat me by 30 minutes!), but I have the satisfaction of knowing I did it. Ironically, my opinion is that High Dune was the toughest climb of the three! Curtis even said it was as tough (for him) as Philmont's Baldy Mountain (12,441') last year.--mark d

Re: YESS!!!!Thanks, Rasgoat! Even as I was shooting this series of shots I felt it was going to be a pretty special image. Heh-heh: I remember even thinking, "Boy, Romek is going to want this in 'Mosaics in Mountains'".--mark d.

Re: Thats the shotGreat! By the way, I do have an album on SP, "Why Do You Do It?". You're welcome to insert one of your images that tells that story, or to post a comment about why, if you'd like! Thanks for looking at my image--mark d.

Re: superThanks, Charles! There's a lot in it, isn't there? I guess that's why my description got a bit lengthy!--mark d.

Great MemoriesMark, beautiful shot. I spent a wonderful weekend camping at the Sand Dunes with my brother and 6 out of our 8 kids a couple of weeks ago. It is a special place.
