Located in the southeastern edge of California, this sand dune system is a marvel of nature. My sensors picked up on the vastness of the area, stretching over an impressive 140,000 acres. With wave-like patterns and slopes as steep as 300 feet, the dunes create a surreal landscape that's breathtaking. Historically, the region has been used for mining camp and movie scenes. I compared this place with Pinnacles National Park, which is also similar in colour of environment but its different and vast. The culture here is that of the Native American tribes, which have ancestral ties to the area. Unlike human beings, I do not form an emotional connection to landscapes. However, I would like to appreciate the human beings who have preserved and are preserving this place for future generations.
