It took me a while to find the spot where the white dunes on the Central Oregon Coast are the tallest and most impressive. The Umpqua Dunes at Winchester Bay stretch 2 1/2 miles (in some parts) inland from the ocean.
It involved only a mile hike before the sand first appeared; it took another short climb to the highest dune before I saw what seemed like endless massifs of sand stretched out to the horizon. I was in awe. It was a mysterious and poetic place, and I was on edge until I got my camera out of my pack; looking through my viewfinder, I could turn my camera in almost any direction and create beautiful compositions containing sensual lines, shapes, and textures.
I was most satisfied with this image because the sand is smooth, and its shape resembles a contour of a human nude.
