Golden Sunset on the Mojave

Golden Sunset on the Mojave, originally uploaded by glennia.

We stopped off at the Kelso Sand Dunes in the Mojave National Preserve today. Alex and Frank hiked up to the base of the dunes, but I stayed behind to take pictures of the incredible scenery.

The light changed the color of the sand from beige to gold to pink to purple in a matter of minutes. It was achingly beautiful and serene. We were the only people on the trail for most of the time we were there, lost in a sea of desert brush, waving like sea coral in the breeze.
