That image was made during one of my travels in Southern Utah. That day I drove down the Waterpocket Fold along Burr Trail to Bullfrog and took a ferry across Lake Powell (or what is left of it now because of several years of drought) to Halls Crossing. Area just east of Halls Crossing along Hwy 276 is fabulous: small pink sand dunes with some vegetation, canyons down to Colorado River, puffy clouds stretching to the horizon. I stopped and spent a couple hours walking the dunes (you hardly can call them dunes, but anyway...). I was fascinated with pink color of the sand which reminded me Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park just west of Kanab but it was about 200 miles away. Because of sporadic vegetation there was not place for a big landscape picture, so I opted for macro. On the other hand I did not want to limit myself with 100mm lens which will get only a bundle of sand grains. I wanted a foreground and background. I was looking for a macro landscape. So I took Sigma 15mm diagonal fisheye lens and started to crawl in a sand trying to find a right composition. Here is the result of these attempts: green letter "K" on ripples of pink orange sand.
