Nice take on the wave theme, Bill. Excelent use of the play of light. DV is a magical place, and you captured it well here.

Bill, at first it had the look of DVNP, but seeing your notes that it's GSDNP clarified the location. Regardless, this is a stellar dune image no matter the location. Love the play of light here on this scene. A unique idea on this weekly theme too......NICE......laugh

Ahhh, somebody's pulling a "Seaver" and taking a very broad interpretation. sad  These are lovely sand waves, lit very well.  I really like the zig-zag pattern and the fine glow in the lit regions, plus you held the detail in the shadow are very well.  It's a beautiful shot, Bill!
