Description
White Dune. In this abstract horizontal composition, windblown sand forms intricate ripples in a white sand dune at Agate Beach, Oregon. Agate Beach is located near Newport and Lincoln City, on the Oregon coast, a little south of the Yaquina Head lighthouse (which used to be called the Cape Foulweather light). Frequent winds from a consistent direction have formed quite intricate dunes in the find sand. Abstract photography seeks to portray a subject not literally, but more viscerally, communicating through form (shapes, patterns, lines, curves), color, texture, and the play of light and shadow. Often, just a small portion of the whole subject is shown, in order for part to speak for the whole, to communicate deeper meaning or aesthetic appeal through the details seen which would be missed if the whole were visible. See my other photos of Agate Beach, the Yaquina Head lighthouse, and other scenes of the Oregon coast.
