Happy Thursday Monochrome!

 

Zoom to see the hikers at the bottom of the ravine.

 

I put this photo in the category of 'It's so bad it's good." No, that is not bad development making the sky look like that, that is diffuse wildfire smoke from the over 370,000 acre Creek Fire burning in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California doing weird things to the light. This photo is from my "cliche' tourist photos taken at tourist spots taken with mediocre tourist cameras that were made when I was a child" series. The location is Zabriskie Point, Death Valley National Park where millions of photos have been taken by the millions who have visited this location, and as such it is nearly impossible to do something original, unique, artistic or special. But I think that this photo, by being so flawed, is unique and that makes it special.
