ripples in the sand at White Sands National Monument

Sand ripples look like ocean waves and a plant that didn't make it in this harsh environment looks like driftwood, as seen in early-morning light at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico, in October 2007. (Photo taken with Olympus SP-550 camera: 7 Mpixels, 18x optical zoom, image stabilization.)
