@Richardphotos. I agree Richard. This was my forth time to this place. I didn't want to go off the paved surfaces with my BMW this time, but in 1973 and 1985 I had a VW bug and I explored all the unpaved areas. It was December and January respectively, so it was a little cooler. When I had a Nissan truck some years later I did it again. This place is awe inspiring, but deadly. I have never been there in summer - and have no desire to go there during that time of year! Phoenix is hot enough!

Beautiful panoramic scene! Personally, I have never been out to places like this and it's nice to know someone is taking wonderful shots of places like these to show us! Thank you!

Great capture - awesome sky! Didn't get to visit this one either, but read a really great romance novel by that title years ago (Janelle Taylor was a favorite novelist of mine when I had time and the eyes to read - lol).

What an astonishing shot! I traveled the area couple of years aback, took quite a few pictures there myself. Perhaps one day I shall post some also.

Just ran across this great image. Several days ago I think I mentioned I was a Lieutenant in the Army not far from Death Valley (Fort Irwin). It happened to be in a tank battalion. Can you imagine seeing further than you could shoot? It doesn't happen in many places in the world but it does here in the Mojave Desert. Brings back old memories. Bill

It seems to go on forever...super haze and feeling of desolation you have captured. Take a peek at my Bryce render "A View Too Far" page 3, bottom right...I think you will find it similar to your outstanding photo, here.
