p.1 #1 · Death Valley, this time I made it!!


Hi guys!
Far from discouraged by my previous experience when driving to Death Valley, I was actually eager to try again and very recently I made it there... I managed to cover a lot of ground in a single day (Zabriskie Point, Devil's Golf Course, Badwater and the Salt Flats, Artist's Pallete, The Racetrack, Uhebebe Crater, Devil's Cornfield and finally the Stovepipe Wells sand dunes for a drive of about 285 miles), and ended up with a great tan that was actually peeling in a matter of hours

All I can say is that it was worth every single mile driven, this place is simply fantastic.

Here are some of the shots I got, the full gallery with bigger sizes is located here:

Hey Carlos,

It would be an awful understatement to say that you covered a lot of ground. I especially enjoyed the "Race Track." I don't remember anyone else using it's name, or having several "runners" in the line up.

I also like your website. It is so user friendly, one of the best I've come across for showcasing a whole lot of impressive images.

Good stuff!

Suzanne

Carlos,

So glad that you finally got to visit Death Valley. I remember your harrowing experience the last time.

These are great photos, especially given that you got great shots in all sorts of light conditions. Come back again when you can stay awhile.

What an excellent series of images - every one fit for the wall

I particularly like #1 - it's so clear.
