Sunset at the Dunes

The play between sunlight and shadow becomes very obvious at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley, California. One can even see the sand flying in the air and on top of the dune. Shooting directly into the sun is usually not so rewarding, but with the dusty sky this one came out fine.

Highway 190 at Zabriskie Point

Right before sunset the mountains in Death Valley are covered in a brilliant golden light. It's even hard to look straight at it. On the other hand the shadows are real dark. The land is dry. No tree or bush or grass anywhere around. No wonder they call it Death Valley.

Zabriskie Point Parking

Looking East from the top of Zabriskie Point shows the walkway and the parking area. It does not look that high, but it gets one out of breath walking up there when it's really hot in Death Valley. The shadows look great in the afternoon sun.

Olancha, California

Sunrise above Death Valley

Coming down the mountains from 6,500 feet suddenly the sun has risen, creating a glaring golden image on the left side of the mountain while the rocks on the right look dark and soft. Death Valley in California is always good for surprises. Sometimes very hot and other times ice cold.

High Desert Morning

Somewhere above Death Valley heading towards Lone Pine. This is uninhabited for miles and miles, but there are electric cables, meaning somewhere a few brave people are living in this remote area.

Desert Sunrise

Those are sunrises like no other. You don't see anything but the glowing sun, the top of the mountains and a little light in front of me on the road. I love it. Way above Death Valley in California.

At Rainbow Canyon

Early morning en route from Death Valley across the mountains towards Lone Pine, California. It's very dry up here and cold. I wonder if another one of those Military jets is showing up through the “Star Wars Canyon”, which they named ever since they shot some scenes here for the movies.

Rainbow Canyon

They also call it StarWars Canyon, as they did some scenes here close to the canyon. I stood there at 6:30 in the morning when suddenly a huge military jet came right up the canyon on it's side. I did not see it coming, but heard the loud noise suddenly it was beside me and a second later it was way up in the sky. What an excitement that was. Later I heard that they train there often.

The Structure of the Rocks

The different colors of the rock were attracting my attention. The dark rock looked shiny like lava. There are a number of dead volcanoes in Death Valley. This was on Hwy 190 in Death Valley, California. The sun was low already and the road was dark.

These Dunes are part of Death Valley and they extend for miles and miles. You can wander around in them for hours in total seclusion and peace.

The Oasis At Death Valley

After driving for hours through Death Valley one can find a beautiful place to relax and refresh at The Oasis. When we were there it looked like they had a lot to build and rebuild after the winter. It's a gorgeous Resort with a beautiful pool and spa. It also has horses and a golf course.

It's Getting Dark

Death Valley is full of surprises. Who would have thought that in the middle of all these California mountains there is a place at Sea Level and in the distance it's even below Sea Level and people live in this extreme climate, really hot in the summer and snow in the winter.

Colorful Mountains

The mountains above Death Valley show up in the most amazing colors from copper-red to volcano lava-black to purple mountains in the distance. This was seen from Hwy 190 coming from Panamint Springs going down into the Death Valley in California.
