Under Dubai's vast, clear blue sky, a serene dune landscape unfolds, offering a mesmerizing contrast between the soft golden sands and the crisp azure above. The undulating dunes, shaped by the gentle yet persistent desert winds, create a natural masterpiece of curves and shadows. This tranquil scene captures the timeless beauty of the Arabian Desert, where the silence is profound, and the only movement is the shifting sands.

Since I've only lived in Michigan for six years, I'm still learning the area, and this was my first time visiting this park. I was intrigued by where the creek meets Lake Michigan. I liked the curves created by the moving waters. When I first arrived that morning, the sky was not in my favor, but as I explored the beach, the clouds started to break up and create some much-needed texture.
