Another shot from the Mesquite Sand Dunes in Death Valley. It’s early morning and you can see the sun coming up over the distant mountains.
That cloud cover you see prevented any strong shadows from forming, something you often get there in the early morning. On clearer days, the left of that sand dune in the foreground would have been dark, creating interesting contrasts along the ridge of the dune.
I still love this picture though and the color in the sky adds extra interest.
When compared to the previous post, this view provides some context as it shows the wider scene so you can see what this area looks like. Death Valley must be one of the more interesting areas I have ever visited. Do diverse and the landscape can be so intensely alien, but so beautiful at the same time.
