Sand, Sun and Storm

Description

All the way out to the dunes from Alamosa, CO it was pouring down rain so my expectations were not very high. As we got there it let up some and I took a few photos and started to leave when the sun broke through and the rain stopped long enough to take some more photos. It turns out that they are my favorites from the entire trip :0)
