But this photograph wasn’t made as a checklist stop

Standing at the edge offers no sense of comfort or gradual descent

Winter Storm Over the Great Sand Dunes Size:30x45 flat and exposedGreat Sand Dunes, Colorado This photograph came from a brief, unplanned stop while traveling back toward Texas. I had never seen the Great Sand Dunes in person, and curiosity pulled me in. It was the middle of winter, brutally cold, and the kind of weather that usually convinces you to keep driving. I stayed anyway. As a storm rolled across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the sky darkened fast. I didnt expect to make a photograph. Sunset was closing
