White Sand Shadows
Some may think of death and destruction when they hear "White Sands, New Mexico". It's true, this is the area where the first atomic weapons were detonated.

What delicate and beautiful shadow shots, Martha! I love the white sand!
Have a great weekend!

The shadow of the fence is stunning. The sand in white is unusual, the rocky New England sand is more sepia in tone than this. The horizontal rails stretch out fat, not to infinity but far onto the sand. The plants leave delicate shadows, that combine nicely the wood. I enjoy the surf like ripples an the white grains. What a stunning place and capture!
Ha ha- our white is all snow!
At first glance they could almost be snow! I love them!
The shadows are beautiful on the white sands from the bold fence rails to the subtle ripples of the sand itself.
It is indeed a place of great beauty - quite gorgeous!!
Happy SSS to you!
Your right it's hard to tell the real plant from the shadow! excellent!
I was going to do a similar shadow but on red dirt from Sedona, Az. The plant was very similar to yours. But, changed my mind. The White Sands are truly white! Beautiful!
Gorgeous shadow shots; the first one, with the fence, looks almost like a winter scene. I'd love to be walking in warm sand about now. =)
Absolutely gorgeous sands....
Lovely! I haven't been to White Sands since I was a youngster.
This is beautiful.
the lines of the fence are wonderful!
what a beautiful place. awesome shadows.
Beautiful Martha! And that sand makes me want to run my hands through it and play in it like a big sand box..Ha! Ha! Merry Christmas!
I thought I was looking at SNOW until I read your words! What marvelous shadowy captures in this unusual stretch of desert. Methinks my fav is the first fence shadow today ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
