Cadiz Dunes Day 2

 I have sand in my camera bag, sand in my hair, even sand in my ears! The dunes are both challenging and fun to photograph, especially in high winds.








Bonus points if you can spot Mitch!
 


My humble accomodations for the evening. There are more stars visible here than even the most remote parts of Joshua Tree National Park. I would love to return during a new moon and try my hand at some Milky Way photography! One of these days...
 
Thanks for stopping by!
Linking with Skywatch Friday.
