Zabriskie before sunrise
Zabriskie Point is in death Valley California and is popular at sunrise and sunset with tourists and photographers. I woke up at 4 am and drove to the point to arrive at 4:30 am. I was on my own but even at that time it was 95 degrees! This was a shot I took before anyone else arrived when I had the place to myself sharing it only with rattlesnakes and scorpions! It was still quite dark but enough light to enable a long exposure to reveal rock pattern and texture. It was so peaceful! 20 minutes later about 40 people arrived and watching and photographing the sunset became a very sociable occasion. But it was that time by myself that i will remember most (even though I am a sociable person really!) I will shortly post more shots as the sun came up - the colour on the rock was something else. I was hoping for a better sky but you can't control nature!
