Desert canvas

This playa in the Mojave Desert is a natural canvas on which hydrological forces paint intricate works of art in earth tones. See my dendrites tag for examples.

 

I hiked out to the middle to explore a new section I expected to have subtle brown shades. I was surprised to find large black areas with abrupt edges.

 

Unfortunately for photographers like me, certain wild characters like to drive dirt bikes and jeeps on the canvas. Dodging their tracks, which can persist for years, makes my work more challenging.
