Illustrated heroes, not photographs
Two pages on this site open with commissioned artwork rather than a photograph. They are artist renderings created for Dune Guide USA, and they depict a period and a mood rather than a documented moment, place, or vehicle. Nothing in either image should be read as a historical record.
History, “A century on the sand.” images/history-hero-dune-culture.webp. Illustration for Dune Guide USA. Depicts an early automobile and a dune buggy together to represent the arrival of wheels and the culture that followed. Not a photograph and not a reconstruction of any specific event.
When to Ride season calendar. images/when-to-ride-hero-seasons.webp. Illustration for Dune Guide USA. Represents seasonal contrast across the network rather than one location.
Where the destination guides publish period scenes, they carry the same distinction on the page itself. See the Oceano Dunes history for that convention.
