The size of the country and the distances that you can see once you are in the desert is always amazing to me - reminds me of traveling from CA to AZ during the summer months! Amazing colors in the soil and rock on the far side!

@Veronelle: There are lots of white salt deposits on the desert floor as well as white limestone (amongst other colors). However, Death Valley has snow on its mountain peaks (see tomorrows post). Portions of Death Valley's valley floor are below minus 250 feet. But it has mountain peaks over 11,000 feet! Thanks for your comments Veronelle!

Great muted image where one has to search for the detail but worthwhile once found, my only qualm is the land to the left foreground which is a distraction

@john4jack: haze
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Cool framing...all that haze against the rock and detail, making it look like part of the clouds with just a touch of the more obvious rock in the corner. Very clever.

I think you defined "desolate" with this one.

Breathtaking, this just makes me feel so tiny, love the scene and the small piece of rock you have left in the photo makes me realise how awesome it must have been to stand here......

ALthough I know what you were going for, the lack of detail in this doesnt do much fore me! More of the outcrop in the foreground might have helped?

That's a big shot Craig, it's like I'm looking from space.

Death Valley indeed... the haze really amplifies the desolation.
