Death Valley -- A Dozen

[gnagel]

Last month, I spent a couple of days in Death Valley. Unfortunately half of my photo shoot locations were closed--not due to the government shutdown, but because a flash flood hit the area in September and destroyed several roads. Here are a dozen photographs that I was able to capture during my visit:

1- This iconic landscape is the view from Zabriskie Point

2- Death Valley and its salt flats from Dante's View

3- A woman walking on the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

4- Kit Fox Hills and Death Valley Buttes

5- Cook Bank Building at Rhyolite Ghost Town

6- Otherworldy badlands from Zabriskie Point

7- A badlands abstract

8- Sun rising to hit the buttes above Death Valley

9- Manly beacon from Zabriske Point

10- Salt pan abstract

11- One of the more spectacular sunsets that I ever witnessed

12- The clouds were on fire!

Death Valley was just 2 days of my 17 day road trip from Chicago to Death Valley. Other productive stops included the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff and some segments of historic Route 66.

Thanks again for looking!

I like number three; it just strikes me as an album cover of some sort.

Thanks Hardus...that scene looked bizarre to me and seems to open up a number of questions.

Great shots.

Thanks Alan...appreciate your commenting!

Thanks for commenting. I like the light just before sunrise. That first one was captured before sunrise with a 5 second exposure.

thanks for the extra info, it's a gorgeous photo. i've seen this view before, but the light and color in yours definitely sets it apart from the rest.

Great photos. Quiet an impressive and beautiful desolation. Can you wander and camp just about anywhere there?

Thank you…I camped in the campground at Furnace Creek. I am not sure if you can camp outside of the designated campgrounds…but I doubt that it is permitted within the park.

Not everyone is going to like the photographs that I post…and that is their prerogative. I assume that saying it is a photo “dump” implies that the pictures are garbage.

I usually share photos from major shoots as I know some people enjoy viewing them. But not everyone will like them and that is OK.
