The Dunes as Seen by LIFE Magazine

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

LIFE Magazine and Google recently teamed up to create an archive of every LIFE magazine picture from their archives. You can view the pictures and order your own prints.

I did a search for the Dunes and found a ton of really cool pictures that provide a unique window into the history of the Region.

You can see the whole Google / LIFE Magazine Collection Here.
