Badwater Basin at Death Valley National Park is famous for the fact it is one of the hottest (It was 85 degrees F this day) and lowest places on earth. The salt flats are a result of any standing water in the basin evaporating and leaving the salt deposits behind. I caught these images last week after a sand storm blew through the valley but parted right around sunset.

I was absolutely blown away by Death Valley and really had no idea what to expect. I thought of you last weekend and hoped you had a fabulous time and captured a lot of fabulous images.

I got really lucky as the clouds parted a bit around sunset and after a sand storm passed through.

This is quite a place, one that I may never get to see up close. The patterns must be a study in and of themselves. Thanks for sharing!
