Spring Morning Over the Valley of Death
DEVA07D-80
March 31, 2007
A friend of mine is planning a visit to Death Valley National Park, and that prompted me to go back through some photos of the time I was last there, just over four years ago. The park is a strange concoction of barren austerity and the vibrance of life, how it struggles (and even flourishes) against all odds. Death Valley regularly posts some of the hottest temperatures in the country, and among the highest in the world. It is also the lowest point in North America. But despite the sand, and the heat, wildflowers can about after a brief spring rainfall, and in the cool morning light, even the immense dunes take on a gentle, welcoming appearance.
