Another view from Dante's view, Death Valley National Park. Took this shot just before sunset looking the other way towards the black mountains and the Panamint range. We were at the Dante's view location and I was reading the plaque which was located there identifying the various mountain ranges which were visible from the location when this happened. The setting sun broke through some of the cloud over and lit up some of the hills pretty far away while other hills and plains remained in shadows.

Dante’s View just before Sunset. We were at Dante’s view to see the sunset on out first day at Death Valley National Park. The view from the parking lot itself is spectacular at this locations but if you a hike a bit into the rocky outcrops you will get more appealing foreground interests. As we were waiting for the sun to set over the Panamint Range I noticed the Black mountains getting illuminated in amazing golden light. I quickly turned the camera and tripod around to get this shot. I also used a Lee .6 ND Grad for this shot.

An old sunset shot from Death Valley National Park. The location of this shot Dante's viewpoint and thanks to a wildfire which was going on we had an opportunity to witness an epic sunset here. This shot was made just as the sun went behind the mountains.

I thought a desert sunset would be a nice break from all the lust foggy shots of Kerala. Hope you all enjoy this, thanks again for visiting.

I usually post only one picture of a location unless I change the field of view dramatically but for this shot I am making an exception to my own rule. This shot was another one I took during sunset at Dante’s View at Death Valley National Park. In the foreground is the Black mountain range and the mountains on the other side are the Panamint Range. The sun was setting over the Panamint and was lighting up the clouds with such beautiful colors, this had to be in the top 5 of the best sunsets I have ever witnessed. Thanks for visiting and the encouraging words and faves..

Ok this is the last one, I promise. This is the final image from my Dante’s view shoot at Death Valley. I think I have exhausted my reserve of shots for the time being. The timing is pretty good as I am heading out for a road trip across the spine of California for 4th of July weekend and will be passing through some of the most scenic locations in the country. I hope I will be getting some really nice shots to share with you in the near future.

I am really thankful for all the visits and the encouragement I get on these pages and really appreciate the support. I started out on photography to break the monotony of the corporate life and as an inspiration to get out and the fact that someone would enjoy pics I take is just the icing on the cake.

Wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July..
