Dune Shadows
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 6 August 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Sand erosion control fences in the coastal dunes of NW England filtering the light.
I'll be away on vacation with my family shortly so I look forward to catching up with you all in a couple of weeks.
Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and lovely comments!
