Pioneer Sunflowers, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado

On the frontier of life, where the prairie meets the sand, hardy sunflowers outgrow the shifting sands to bloom and father another generation- proof that life will persist against all odds. Unfortunately, the first response of many viewers is not that of wonder at a unique image, but an assumption that the flowers are planted or digitally superimposed. I fear our culture is losing its sense of natural wonder at time when we need it the most.
