Awesome project? History in the making? Report in!

The Mesquite Sand Dunes just outside Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley. The hike is 45 minutes to where no human prints can be found on the sands. A great place to be all by yourself and meditate and take in the beauty of nature (just bring lots of water). This shot was taken just before sundown.

Hey Andy, did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch?

Hey Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey baby, are we losing touch?

If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon

If you believe there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool

REM - Man on the moon

As everything is already said, this is what came to my mind
