The White Sands National Monument is located about 15 miles southwest of Alamogordo in the State of New Mexico. The area is in the mountain-ringed Tularosa Basin valley area and encompassing one of the world's great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico.
Here, huge wave-like dunes of gypsum sand move across 275 square miles of desert creating the world's largest gypsum dune field.
Such a unique place must be a photographer’s paradise - indeed !
I spent three wonderful days here in this area and after browsing over my photographic results I have to say I must come back …. soon ;-)
Enjoy it. http://www.gerrypacher.ch/desert.html

I hope if you ever have the opportunity to be in the region you will be able to visit the Great Dunes Nat'l Park outside of Alamosa Colorado. Not the stark contrast of the White Sands of your pictures but still lovely with the dunes located against the San Juan mountains....
