Wow!

I've never heard of this place nor seen a picture of anything like this. It is unusual to have such white sand. You have captured it well on a lovely day with the blue sky contrasting perfectly with the white.

The hump and shadow give it character.

Welcome to TE!

Great post

Good contrast between the blue sky and the white sand! The details in the sand add to the whole picture. TFS!

A pile of sand as a national monument! Never heard about something like that.
But let's be honest, it's a very nice pile of sand!

The colours and shades are perfect! Just wondering how it would have looked in landscape, with the horizon out of the middle... Landscape, horizon at 2/3 sky/earth and slightly lower POV

Hello Dong.
An amazing park indeed...I bet this shot would look wuite cool in B&W. There are beautiful textures in the sand and the shadow looks like a pool of water, yet I don't belive that shadow should be of a blue hue. Well seen and I agree with the observations of Dennis.
Regards,
Chris.
