Unlike most deserts, the dunes at White Sands National Park in New Mexico are made of gypsum — one of only a handful of places like it on earth. Michael Heeney was there in late af ternoon in February, walking barefoot through the landscape as the sun began to drop. The late light catches the subtle curves of the dunes, adding depth to what might otherwise read as pure white. Vast, stark, inviting and inhospitable in equal measure. The San Andres Mountains barely visible on the horizon, the sky pale blue above. A landscape that doesn't look like anywhere else. Every Distant Dawn print is professionally produced and custom framed, arriving ready to hang. This fine art photography print is printed on premium archival photo paper, built to hold the luminous white and delicate tonal range of that New Mexico afternoon on your wall. Show more
