{"product_id":"california-desert-sand-dunes-late-afternoon","title":"California Sand Dunes Landscape Photography Print | Golden Afternoon Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis California sand dune photography print shows golden curves, rippled sand and shrub shadows beneath a blue, cloud-filled sky. I offer the afternoon desert landscape as wall art in a choice of print sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden sand dunes curve beneath a blue, cloud-filled sky in this California desert photograph. I made the colour image in 2010, with late afternoon light revealing the rippled sand and casting long shadows from the scattered shrubs. The scene brings warm earth tones together with the cooler light above the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low dune crosses the foreground, its crest marked by a small cluster of plants. Their shadows stretch diagonally down the slope, giving the photograph a clear sense of the sun’s angle. Farther back, another dune rises in a broad, smooth band. A few isolated shrubs break that open surface without interrupting its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat interests me is the change in scale between the fine ripples and the larger curves. Up close, the sand is full of repeated lines; at a distance, those marks blend into an almost continuous golden surface. The shadowed hollow between the dunes adds depth, while the bank of clouds provides a second kind of texture above them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI kept both the sky and the foreground in the composition because their contrast gives the landscape its balance. The desert feels spacious, yet the small plants and patterned sand make it specific. This landscape wall art can work well in a room with warm wood, neutral fabrics, or a simple desert palette. It also offers a quiet view for anyone who enjoys the open country and changing light of California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2010\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571200495695,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592162771023,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40291869655119,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67592699871311,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40058211565647,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67593519202383,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40058186661967,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594339811407,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40606791598159,"sku":"","price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595319148623,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40606815223887,"sku":"","price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600409526351,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185656373327,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67595956912207,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185724956751,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805451419727,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804744908879,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804817457231,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747550068815,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/California-Sand-Dunes-in-Afternoon-Light-Landscape-Photography-1.jpg?v=1791580171","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/california-desert-sand-dunes-late-afternoon","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
