Who has given us eyes to see the stars without giving us the arms to reach them? ( Florbela Espanca )

The big city San Francisco has an all natural beach full of rocks which reflect yellow sun lights during sunset hour. When taking with slow shutter, the soft vs. hard, smooth vs. rough, hot vs. cold are rminding me that the concept of yin-yang balance exists in the nature all the time.

Here, alone in the Mesquite Sand Dunes of Death Valley, the sunset looked bleak. Totally blank skies except for a very thin layer of clouds above the mountain line off in the distance. As my only option, I pulled out the 70-200mm lens to frame these 3 nice dunes in hopes the clouds would get some color. Luckily that small strip of clouds engulfed in flames casting some nice light on my zoomed in scene. Honestly, the sky of the raw file looks incredibly close to this final, so it was tough to tame the intensity of the colors. All in all, nothing special here, just a simple, soft scene with an almost abstract look. Thanks for viewing.
