A view from Zabriskie point at Death Valley National Park. I took this shot in the morning as the rising sun was lighting up the folds and faraway mountains. Morning sun over the Zabriskie point is an absolutely religious experience and it’s something everyone should witness at least once in their life. The badland formations and the texture of and hues of the landscape is beyond amazing as the golden light gets there just becomes outright stunning. Thanks for visiting hope you enjoy the pics…

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.

It seems like everyone's posting Death Valley shots, so here's one I've hung on to for a bit ....

After a Utah...

I found myself trekking through the dunes in the middle of 33MPH winds. It was early in the morning when the winds were less violent, but when the sunrise hit the winds took a drastic change for the worse.

Death Valley National Park

Zabriskie Point is a part of the Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in California, United States, noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence. The location was named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in the early 20th century. The company's twenty-mule teams were used to transport borax from its mining operations in Death Valley.

When we ended up moving to SoCal due to our career decisions, there were two things that excited me about the move. One, there was no more snow to deal with and after trying out 6 winters in New York and New England we were not sad to move to sunny Los Angeles. The other reason was the sheer number of National Parks that were available to explore. We visited Yosemite within a couple of months of moving and the next park we chose was Death Valley National Park. I was actually quite surprised to learn that many of my colleagues didn’t even know about the park that was just 4 hours away from them, in fact, I had to tell people that it was near Coachella music festival for them to get a general idea of the location of the park.

Our first visit was quite eye-opening as we went in winter and the temperature was quite toasty 90F, but the desert was stunning in its beauty and one of our favorite places to visit was the stunning Zabriskie point, a part of the Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley, noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago - long before Death Valley came into existence.

This stitched panorama shot was made of the Manly beacon during sunrise as the morning light drenched the Panamint Range. I was never fully convinced of the edits on image when I first posted it but recently after getting a bit more skilled at editing, I tried my luck again and I believe this is a much cleaner representation of the amazing vista we were lucky to witness.

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.

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..

Zabriskie Point at Death Valley National Park. This is a wide angle shot of the previous image Iposted on flickr.

It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago, long before Death Valley came into existence.

I had an amazing time here even though I had to wake up around 4:30 PM to witness the sunrise at this amazing location. The colors and patterns on these badlands formation is nothing short of spectacular. Please make it a must stop location if you ever visit Death Valley.

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..

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.
