Badland, Death Valley NP, CA

Badland is our first scenic stop when we arrive at the Death Valley National Park. The geological formations become instant love: full of lines, curves and patterns. The only downside is that we were here in the middle of the day, the sunlight was pretty harsh, even the B+W polarizer could not solve that. I wonder how this place would turn out during sunrise or sunset, but unfortunately I was on a tight schedule, and planned to shoot the magic hour at the sand dune and badwater. I hope I can come here again in the future and stay a couple of days, hopefully in winter.
