"Idyllic" would serve as well as "Grand" in the thread title. Beautiful work, and not easy to achieve.

Thanks Jerry but the light is coming from the right. If you look carefully at some of the trees in the valley their shadows fall to their left.
Thanks Mark. Although photogenic, the Diablo Range has been ignored by all or most of the famous photographers from this area despite its proximity. I don't think AA, the Weston's, or any member of the F64 group took one photo in it. Same for Galen Rowell who also lived on its western flank.

Nice last-minute 'grab', John!
A photo of the other sand dune in Death Valley National Park (Eureka Valley). A fellow photographer and I spent a couple nights there -- wandering around the dunes together while making sure we did not put footprints into each others images (unless we wanted them)!

View in the Colorado Plateau
Several years back, around 2006, I embarked on a long road trip in the Colorado Plateau. Departing on the day after Christmas Day, I traveled over 5000 miles on paved and unpaved roads in my little Toyota Echo to capture the landscape with the camera as best as I could before returning home early February. It was a marvelous journey! I am now in the process of editing through the several hundred negatives produced on this trip for a page on my website that will be dedicated to the landscape of the Colorado Plateau. The image posted above is one of the negatives from that trip.
