Celestial Salt

Devils Golf Course

Death Valley National Park

California

March 2026

The Milky Way rising in the early morning hours at Death Valley National Park. The foreground shows the unique halite salt crystal formations of the Devil’s Golf Course, while the galactic center anchors the sky.

I'm pretty sure I could win a ‘guess what this is?’ competition with you on this one .

It’s an in-camera multiple-exposure of three ICMs, taken with movements along the vertical and both diagonals. It was virtually monochrome in the camera, but as it’s Monochrome Thursday today I've processed it in Silver Efex and given it a rich selenium tone.

But what is it of?

It’s of the top of some trees against a cloudy sky. The trees are all black twigs in winter so that’s what has given it the monochrome look with lots of scratchy lines. I used the Light blend mode in the camera and because the ICM pushes the images to a mid-grey the blending is random and unpredictable.

I rather like these abstract effects and I was a bit surprised when these monochrome fabrics started appearing on the camera screen. I'll put this one as the first in my monochrome 100x sub-project.

Thanks for taking the time to look… and even have a guess. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Donnerstagsmoncrom and 100x :)>

Celestial Peace www.youtube.com/watch?v=axfe6Pl1SbQ

May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.
