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.
Death Valley is unique in scope and appearance. Glad you were blown away!
It most certainly is an incredible place! Hope you have more photographs to upload soon.
I got a bunch I’m working on
Hooray! I love your photographs!
Thanks Joan!
Looks vast and lonely… great sunset!
It does have a different look to it, everywhere you go.
Reblogged this on Vietnam Travel & Trade Portal.
Really interesting texture. Impressive images.
Thanks Cornelia. I always wanted to shoot these salt flats and the conditions were ideal.
Unbelievably beautiful!
Spectacular! Especially the second last one – stunning colour.
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!
You’re welcome. The patterns are fascinating.
Wow! These images are just incredible
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed!
