The ephemeral, ever-changing landscape of California's Oceano Dunes are divided, part protected natural preserve and part vehicular recreations area. In "Oceano: An Elegy for the Earth,' photographer David Ulrich renders this fragile, endangered landscape in moody, surreal, and sumptuous images that are combine celebration, meditation, and lamentation. As Ulrich shares: "Sorrow and love for Earth, indeed. No better articulation exists for my regard for our dying planet and common mother."
