The Top of a Dune

Likely not the scene you imagined given the thread title but the lake area around Florence Oregon is really a forested sand dune field with lakes filling in the low spots from all the rain the area gets. This aerial view of a small island in the middle of Woahink Lake makes it easy to see the top of one of the dunes that lie just beneath the surface of the water.



C&C always welcome.

That's so interesting to see the dune below the water. Good capture.

Being used to the sand dunes of Death Valley I know I was so disappointed when I got to those sand dunes in Oregon as I couldn't find any bare dunes, they were all covered with vegetation. I felt that Oregon ripped me off! Crazy I know, but that's how my crazy mind thinks.

Thanks Jim - the good news in this case is that the dunes here aren't covered with vegetation since they are covered with water instead
