22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Shifting dunes and sandy toes.

I took this photo while out exploring the massive dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park in southern Colorado. I came across this man walking alone and thought his attire suited the backdrop while he wiggled his toes in the warm sand. he was clearly enjoying the experience of such a unique landscape among mountains.
