Death Valley is a desert located in Eastern California. Situated within the Mojave Desert, it features the lowest, driest, and hottest locations in North America.[2] Badwater, a basin located within Death Valley, is the specific location (36° 15' N 116° 49.5' W) of the lowest elevation in North America at 282 feet (86.0 m) below sea level. This point is only 84.6 miles (136.2 km) ESE of Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m).[3] Death Valley holds the record for the highest reliably reported temperature in the Western hemisphere, 134 °F (56.7 °C) at Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913—just short of the world record, 136 °F (57.8 °C) in Al 'Aziziyah, Libya, on September 13, 1922[4]
Located near the border of California and Nevada, in the Great Basin, east of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Death Valley constitutes much of Death Valley National Park and is the principal feature of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts Biosphere Reserve. It is located mostly in Inyo County, California. It runs from north to south between the Amargosa Range on the east and the Panamint Range on the west; the Sylvania Mountains and the Owlshead Mountains form its northern and southern boundaries, respectively. It has an area of about 3,000 sq mi (7,800 km2).[5] Death Valley shares many characteristics with other places below sea level.

All those things that happened to us...everything that went before...you’ll forget it. You’ll see. I’ll make you forget it. After it’s done, after it’s all over and we’re safe, it’ll be just you and me. You and me, the way it should’ve been all along from the start. Quote from the movie "Criss Cross (1949)

A second release from an early Spring trip to Death Valley. Like a lot of my trips to Death Valley with my family, this one held some trials and tribulations. We always have a good time, but we’ve come to expect some moments of discomfort or even frustration. The day I shot this post sunset image of badlands I had my first experience with getting a flat tire in the park. Getting a flat seems to be a veritable right of passage for those who often visit Death Valley, usually occurring down some gnarly remote road covered in sharp rocks. My story isn’t nearly so cool. I got mine while backing off a concrete RV pad. Yep, I somehow managed to run over a low lying mesquite tree which had the god-damn nerve to reach out and rip a gash in the sidewall of my A/T tire. Tire pressure alarm went off followed by a loud, short hissing sound. I knew instantly what happened. Nothing to do but show my son how to change a tire, throw the donut on, and go about our day. We decided to stay the night before bailing back to Vegas to get a new full size replacement, which gave me the opportunity to visit this section of badlands to capture this image. So, at least this image is one small consolation for an otherwise crappy day. But then again, even crappy days in Death Valley have a way of feeling special. This one included
A very quick run out yesterday morning to catch sunrise, then back home for breakfast. The colour turned out really good so was definitely worth the early start. This was taken with my old 35mm f2.8 AIS lens which has been sat in my drawer for the past couple of years. I had forgotten just how sharp this little lens is!
