Death Valley National Park
Death Valley had long been on my list of places to visit, and I finally made the trip in early January of 2020 (just before Covid changed our lives). I had pictured a barren desert, but I was surprised at the diversity and beauty of the valley.
This was my take on the soft curves of the sand dunes in Death Valley.

This photo was taken under moonlight late at night, near the 600-foot deep Ubehebe Crater. I like the desolate nature of the scene and the contrast between the black volcanic soil and the light colored scrubby bushes.

Zabriskie Point overlooks a colorful landscape at the edge of the Black Mountains. I took this photo shortly before sunrise, and I think the colors make for a beautiful image.

The water in the foreground was in just the right place to reflect the mountain peak.
