White Sands sunset-moonrise

Dad and Pam came for a visit, timed with the full moon rise that we watched from White Sands National Park.



We got there in time to watch the sunset, unlike our previous attempt.



I really didn't change the color/saturation. You can see from the photo below that the sand really is white. What I love about this place is that the sand reflects the sunset/sunrise colors, turning a lovely golden color this night compared to the pinks and golds from a prior trip, and of course the bright whites in the middle of the day.


We picked up the kids from school, enjoyed a nice picnic dinner at White Sands, and then waited. It was cool and a bit windy, but a very nice night to watch the sun set over the mountains to the west, and then the moon rise over the mountains to the east.

Cheers,

Marc
