Arid

Desolate Fury

Atmosphere in the desert can be calm, warm, and full of silence, or the fury of the elements can show their beauty. This day was a tough day for being out in the dunes, but as the light caught the sand flowing off the dunes, it made for a spectacular display of desolate fury.

Mars

The desert badlands of southern Utah make up a spectacular and ever changing beautiful palette for light to catch. From darkness, starlight, to twilight, blue and tawny, to golden hour, where edges like this catch the first glowing rays and the shadows are still filled with blueish purplish hues. It's really amazing to watch how light paints the earth in these places.
