White Sands
"One could sit in a single spot all day and be treated to a wonderful show."
White Sands National Monument preserves these unique gypsum sand dunes that glisten and sparkle in the sun. As the fingers of wind sweep over the dunes, ever shifting patterns and shapes emerge. The progress of the sun cast different shadows and hues - one could sit in a single spot all day and be treated to a wonderful show, including children ringing out peals of laughter sliding down the dunes in colorful plastic saucers.

Curator's Note:
We have been featuring photos of the Southwest taken by Marc Christensen. I think they are simply magnificent, and truly meet the criteria of "profound" photos, touching the deepest parts of us as we see, through Marc's lens and short descriptions, the awesome wonder of creation.
Marc, who has contributed many beautiful photos to Profound Living, taken around the world, has recently moved to El Paso, Texas. Now we will be able to observe the splendor of this part of our country through his eyes and lens.
Here are recent SW area photos, with narrative, from Marc
