Windswept Saddle Mirage

In this striking photograph by Duncan Rawlinson, an almost saddle-like formation in a giant sand dune is captured as the wind and sand are blown towards the camera. The scene showcases the raw beauty and power of nature as it sculpts the landscape through wind and erosion. The fluid motion of the sands forms waves, patterns, and ripples, creating an ever-changing canvas of light, shadows, and contrasts. The sunlit dune set against a backdrop of mountainous vistas gives the image a sense of depth and drama, while the delicate interplay of light and shadows highlights the unique textures of the sand. This photograph is a testament to the resilient and ever-changing beauty of the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado, USA. https://duncan.co/windswept-saddle-mirage
