I was enthralled to see this view overlooking Bethell’s Beach with the moving clouds revealing clearly defined and wonderfully textured sand dunes. These dunes lead the eye to tactile rock forms, and an enticingly dark cave. The clouds, in addition to providing the lighting modifier I needed to capture the scene, were attractive in their own right, and important to include.

I could see this image in both landscape and portrait versions – this is the landscape one. Its sister portrait version is Bethell’s Sand Dunes.
