I love hiking the dunes along 
Lake Michigan in the winter.

Wind and snow and ice conspire 
to change the face of the dunes in ways you only see in this season. 
Some sand may freeze, while the wind blows free sand around, sculpting the frozen sections.

Recently, I came across part of a dune that resembled wood grain. 
This was at The Dune Climb in
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
