A hyper-realistic scene of the White Sands desert in New Mexico at dusk, featuring cool, purplish-hued sand ripples with an iridescent glow. The view captures a broader expanse of the desert, with the sand ripples stretching out into the distance. Add dramatic explosions erupting from the sand, sending plumes of sand and debris into the air. The explosions should be vivid, with intense bursts of light and energy contrasting against the serene desert landscape. Include soft, wispy desert clouds scattered across the sky, adding depth and atmosphere to the scene. Use HDR lighting to enhance contrast between light and shadow. The sky transitions from soft oranges and pinks to deeper purples and blues as night approaches. Add slight atmospheric haze near the horizon for depth, and ensure color accuracy with a wide color gamut.
