Last week's post offered images from a recent visit to the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado. The SLV is the largest alpine valley in the world at 60 miles wide by 120 miles long. It’s a behemoth that’s lightly populated and a person could wander its backroads for a lifetime.

Today and perhaps for several editions are a clutch of Roadside Attractions that are contenders for our upcoming show by that name and for my May-June article in Shadow and Light. Selecting 10 images out of 100s is always a daunting task. I both relish and hate the process. Looking back I often discover a image I missed back in the day. I like that part of the drill. Moving forward its about identifying something special in a subject or a scene. We're searching for another dimension that separates this image from the ordinary. Today's post relates to the theme of our upcoming show and to the article in that the photographs were made on the road to or from somewhere. Among the 10 or so images in the article will be gems from the archives and more recent efforts. In the ideal world the selections for the article and for the show would be weighted toward the new and favor New Mexico. But, ultimately, it's he best 10,15 or 25 that are true to the theme.
The image curation task and our tour of the San Luis Valley a week ago yesterday led me to the Great Sand Dunes National Park, the wonder within the great valley. It is breathtaking. Above are four images from that magnificent place.

This is a magnificent blog, Esteban! But when does the Great Sand Dunes not inspire? An amazing jewel! Swoosh and Shadow and Light are stunning and most worthy of a feature in a future Shadow and Light Magazine piece!
