White Sands - #1 |
|
| Parts of White Sands National Monument are quite bare of
vegetation. Other parts have lots of vegetation. Here's an
interesting shot of a high dune with a single yucca at the top.
The "sand" at White Sands isn't sand at all - but is gypsum (wall board). The dunes have a somewhat sweet smell to them and rain has made the surface very textured, as evidenced in this picture. |
