Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)
Zabriskie Point in Death Valley could never be confused for a Norse setting, but the skies on this cold, dramatic December morning seemed as though they were put together by a Wagner opera set designer.
Much of the year, the skies above Death Valley are clear and crisp with little to no humidity, but that changes in winter. It is not uncommon for the Badwater Basin to receive its only rain of the year in a few short days during the winter. This year was no exception, and though it did not ultimately rain on this day, the skies were filled with heavy clouds and fantastic brooding colors as the sun began it's climb, shining through each layer individually, to reach the apex of the sky.
