Mysterious Badwater
The Badwater Basin Salt Flats in Death Valley is one of the most surreal places I have ever visited. We arrived here with all of my camera equipment and several gallons of water. Badwater is the hottest spot in the world, and it was under an Excessive Heat Warning when we arrived. The temperature was between 116 and 117 at sunset with a steady blowtorch wind. Despite the miserable conditions, the sky suddenly lit up in one of the best sunsets I have ever seen in my life. The sky looked like it was on fire (maybe it really was). I literally ran more than a mile onto the salt flats to find the right spot despite the heat (which I know wasn't smart), but it is a sight I will always remember.
