I think that I could sit down there long time and admire the scene. Again great variety of color tones.

Very interesting how the band of light colored rocks continues up to your vintage point!

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: I know in this shot it looks like the band of light colored rocks continues up to my vantage point. But, it doesn't. Resizing and compression give it that illusion. I just wish you could see it in a larger format. In fact, if anyone wants to see this in a larger format, send me your email address via the contact form along with your screen resolution and I'll send you a copy to fit your desktop!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Indeed I can be humble faced with this masterpiece ;)

The beige streak running through the image is quite unique and compelling. Amazing sedimentary rock here. Great image.

Good job on this Craig. I love Death Valley. Been going there for 20 years. I like the whole series. Your Owens Valley stuff too, another favorite. How long did you go for?? I hope there is more to the series.

@Gary: Thanks for the compliment Gary! I was only in the valley for two days and two nights. But, since I had been there before, I went back to my favorite places to photograph them with my new camera and lens systems. So I covered a lot of ground in those two days. I only wish I could post my photographs in a larger format so others could see them the same way I do. I just received my first print in a 24 X 30" format and it even blows my mind! I'm going to hold a "reverse" photography workshop in Death Valley next February. Hope you can make it!

Another great one. I love the fact that you can see those layers of rock. It's like looking back across time.

beautiful landscape! the texture of the mountains is amazing! another interesting aspect is the line of light passing through the frame - very eye catching and intriguing!
