All of the photographs in this Exhibit were taken September 17, 2018, while camping near Florence, Oregon. The day was windy and dry after heavy rainfall the night before. Many areas had fascinating patterns created by the water flowing down the dunes and by erosion as sections of the sand dried and crumbled.
