Following the central Oregon coastline in a long narrow band, the Oregon Dunes are not like any other place in the world. Although sand forms the dunes, they are unlike those found in any desert. Here deep forests grow right on the dunes; water runs through them; and rivers are dammed by them creating lakes in their midst. For me, however, the stark, bare, windswept and rain sculpted sand dunes are the greatest source of wonder and attraction. I spent a week
there, wandering through the dunes on frosty mornings and blustery evenings in February of 2002, photographing nature’s art, created with wind and water.
