It is an immense place, and if you go to the right locations at the right times the silence can be astonishing. The landscape is remarkably varied — from the well-known and accessible landmarks to the less-visited backcountry.
I appreciate that you turned your camera left at Zabriskie — there’s a lot of lovely landscape in that direction, isn’t there! That may be my favorite of the set.
For anyone considering following Ross to DEVA, a little report on relatively current conditions: We’re just back (yesterday) from our second visit in the past couple of months. (I hope to share photographs soon.) Right now the stars of the show (to quote my friend and fellow photographer Franka M Gabler) are Lake Manly and the wildflower bloom. The lake is still there though likely to diminish soon, but the wildflowers are putting on one of the better shows that I’ve seen…and I’ve been photographing every yer in the park for over two decades.
(Someone just sent me a photo of myself on my first visit to DEVA, and it confirmed that this is the 30th year that I’ve been photographing there!)
EDIT: Realizing that I said nothing about Ross’s photos, I have slightly revised this post on 3/4/25 to identify one that particularly caught my attention.
