Quite surprisingly, in the middle of the Oregon coast forests, 40 miles of beautiful sand dunes can be found. We had a good time just hiking around, climbing up and running down. And had it not been for the dozens of buggy drivers who get off by running in circles on the sand, not caring that they destroy vegetation, make whole areas inaccessible and dangerous and create an incredible noise pollution, we could have believed we were walking on the moon.

Look at today's photo while listening to this.

  • I completely understand how you feel about the buggies and the noise pollution, it bothers me a lot of the time. However Mark and I rented one of those buggies last year and it was so much fun I couldn't believe it.

    Great shot. :)

  • The scale is incredible; the person is absolutely dwarfed! And whatever else the buggies do, they did contribute some interesting texture to this shot with their tracks.
