Wow. I have heard about that Zabriskie Point (movie) and now I can admire it thru Your very nice photo. Is that the same place?

@Hidalgo: From Wikipedia: The film's title refers to Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, the location of the film's famous desert love scene, in which members of the Open Theatre simulate an orgy.

Terrific capture. Wonderful pastel colors on the distant ridge. There is so much more to Death Valley than we often realize.

@john4jack: This is now my favorite park! It is the largest national park in the U.S. I spent days there and only visited a fraction of what it has to offer. I plan on going back next February (best time of the year because the temps are in the mid 70s)! Stay tuned. I've only begun my Death Valley series. Thanks for all your comments John!

Nice, Craig. I need to get down there.
The formation in the foreground would be of interest to any geologist. Fascinating.
