I love how they fade into the glare of the sun. Very surreal.<BR/><BR/>Eric, the first destination on your lisy should be the Canyonlands(Utah). Second should be the Sand Dunes.<BR/><BR/>Vic, I enjoy the snakey, unorthodox flow of your logic. I know nothing about Namabia, but it sounds lie a beutiful place.<BR/><BR/>Meno, it was such an odd sensation - 75 degrees outside, and you're standing in ice water, cold mist falling on your face, brushed by air that never sees the sun.<BR/><BR/>Gordo, thanks for stopping by! The trick to the dunes is to go in the spring, when it's still kinda cool, and the creek is running. The creek is key!<BR/><BR/>Mona, you should be jealous. It's too cool. It's in SW Colorado, in the mystical San Luis Valley. <BR/> <BR/>Rudi, the water wanders all over the sand, so a part that was covered in water can be exposed a hour later. It's continually changing. Like a tide that can come from any direction, at any time.<BR/><BR/>Ah, Nancy, the Dunes at night. It's when El Guapo comes out to play. And perhaps a few fallen angels too (insert smiley emoticon here).<BR/><BR/>Hil, thanks for stopping by with your trined photographer's eye. I like how that pic doesn't look quite real - the dunes so unexpected and incongruous in the backgroundClowncarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219213001049223673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-40431270799558405912008-05-22T14:50:00.000-06:002008-05-22T14:50:00.000-06:00Beautiful shots.

I don't remember the falls, though.<BR/><BR/>So many places that I want to take my kids ... :-(Gordohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601738885232775770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-68770861390572731322008-05-20T18:35:00.000-06:002008-05-20T18:35:00.000-06:00I can almost feel the cold mist on my face.

Anyways, that looks like lots of fun. But, yeah, I decided it wasn't Namabia because I said to myself, "OK, so there are the kiddies, and they're not European, so its not Namabia." Perhaps that logic doesn't work for everyone else, but thats how I draw my conclusions.Wizardryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180287388143837392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-4669643542546669412008-05-20T10:57:00.000-06:002008-05-20T10:57:00.000-06:00Add that to my list of places to visit.
