So desolate but beautiful too, great capture. That sky is something else.

Great moody shot, it has that effect of solitude. Nice contrasts and indeed very interesting lighting.

Th colors almost make the sky appear to be on fire which works perfectly with the barren landscape of Death Velley.

The sky is breathtaking. The ground is quite scary though.
Shall I walk on it or just stay and enjoy ?

Fantastic shot! Anyone who hasn’t seen Death Valley needs to visit at least once. The sheer expanse of it is breath-taking, but the extremes of textures and colors really emphasize the cycles of the seasons and of life, death, and re-birth.
