Wendy Klein, Rugged Dawn (LANDSCAPE 2025)

Chasing the sunrise over rugged peaks and black sands isn't just about the photo - it's a battle against time, tide and dunes that seem designed to sabotage my tripod. The golden dunes glowed in the morning sunlight. Morning peaks loom like silent critics, while the＂black sands＂ seemed intent on swallowing my shoes.
