Zabriskie Point Before Dawn

After many sunrises at Zabriskie I've found that I like the light before sunrise to be the best. It takes on pastel colors and is beautiful even without clouds.

Sorry for the lack of postings, lately, things have been busy. Here’s a shot from Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, California, during a road trip last February. I’ve heard the topography of Death Valley described as something from another planet, and I can certainly see that. There are tons of beautiful colors in the rock formations all around the park as well as salt flats that are the lowest point in North America. We only had one day there and it was certainly not long enough to see all the bizarre wonders of the park.

Red Cinder, Black Cinder

Death Valley, California
Looking across to the far rim of the crater Little Hebe and thence to the eroded badlands beyond. The melange of red and black cinder and pulverised light colored sedimentary rock was thrown up by an explosion when magma got too close to some underground water.

Roadrunner
Kirk Lougheed posted a photo:
Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California
A curious roadrunner gives me the eye. These long-tailed ground birds are found in the deserts of the southwestern United States and Mexico. They are omnivorous, living on insects, small reptiles, rodents, small birds, and fruits and nuts. As the name indicates they can run fast, up to 20 mph (32 km/h).
This particular roadrunner was hanging out near the golf course at Furnace Creek, probably more for the insects than anything else. I was chatting with another photographer when he appeared. He was curious about us, strutting around while we photographed him. He eventually flew to the top of a rail fence and perched there for a while before hopping down and wandering off.
