Photo Of The Day: This Must Be The Place


White Sands National Monument
is one of America's most stunning natural landmarks. With 275 miles of white sand dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see, White Sands is the world's largest gypsum dune field, extending across the Tularosa Basin by the town of Alamogordo, New Mexico. Like any proper desert, it also contains oases, albeit more modern than those that we imagine in the Sahara. These picnic tables were captured by Flickr user il lele, who added a witty one-liner to emphasize the isolation of the set-up. It's certainly one place I'd like to go.
