Moonset & Sunrise

The first night we were in Death Valley was a full moon. We arrived too late to take photos that night, but got up early and were out in the dunes well before sunrise the next morning.

 

Here the full moon is setting over the Cottonwood Mountains as dawn is starting to color the sky. The rosy glow on the dunes was spectacular!

 

The next image in my photostream is a paired with this one and was taken a few minutes earlier before the dawn light started to spread across the sky.
