Moonset
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 and provides a very soft illumination to the dunes and the Cottonwoods. You can see just a hint of dawn light in the rose tinge in the clouds on the left hand side of this image.
The previous image in my photostream is paired with this one and was taken a few minutes later as the dawn light was spreading across the sky.
