Desert Snow

Another from Death Valley - crystals of salt growing out of the desert sands in the extreme dryness and heat.

There is something extraordinary about the 'sailing stones' of Death Valley’s Racetrack Playa. They move at a snail’s pace, leaving behind perfect, silent records of their journey across the parched earth.

This image captures a serene, expansive salt flat under a vast, clear blue sky with wispy clouds. In the foreground, textured white and brownish salt crusts meet a calm, shallow reflective lake that mirrors the distant mountain range. Small groups of people are scattered across the midground, walking along the water’s edge and emphasizing the immense scale of the landscape.


This photo was taken at Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. The shallow water visible here is Lake Manly, a temporary lake that occasionally forms after heavy rainfall or atmospheric river events. This rare phenomenon transforms the normally vast, dry salt flat into a reflective body of water that can fill for weeks or months before evaporating in the intense desert heat. In recent decades, notable appearances have occurred after major storms in 2005, 2023 (following Hurricane Hilary), and again in late 2025 into early 2026. These modern versions are usually very shallow—often just inches to a foot deep—creating striking reflections before the desert heat dries them out.

The silence here is profound. Standing on the Racetrack Playa, you find a quiet so deep it’s deafening. You search for sound, but it’s just you and the tracks of stones that move only when no one is watching. A spiritual pilgrimage to the backcountry of Death Valley.

Still making my way up US-395, and enjoying every minute of it!

The sunsetting behind a mountain range in the distance. The sky has streaky clouds that are orange near the mountains and more white towards the top of the frame. The sun is at the left top thirds of the frame and the mountain tops break roughly follow the top third across the frame. Below the mountains at about middle of the frame is the lake surface in shadow, dozens of people are walking towards the lake or at its edge. There is a wide trail leading from the lake towards the left lower corner which people are walking on. To the right of the trail is a pond of dispersed water that is reflecting the light from the sunset so it has a golden yellow hue. In the foreground on the left bottom corner is a viewing platform that is the walkway down to the trail. The curved to the left banister is made of cylindrical metal tubes and it dark colored and the top curve is reflecting the sunlight and looks bronze.

I keep meaning to post more photography as a reprieve from the :gestures to the world:
Here is the view of Lake Manly from the parking lot barrier. The water in the front is always there from my knowledge. The water people are walking to is infrequent

Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley 🌋

2,100 years ago, a steam explosion created this 600ft-deep "maar." To the Timbisha Shoshone, it is Tempinna Ah-ka-voo-it (Coyote’s Basket)—a sacred ancestral site and the place where their people first emerged into the world.

Walking through the shallow waters of Lake Manly was an almost meditative experience. It’s a rare gift to see this lake once, let alone twice in two and a half years.

This photo shows a stunning view from Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, featuring layered, eroded badlands in the foreground with warm sunlight casting long shadows across the gently waving ridges. In the background, the rugged Panamint Mountains rise under a clear blue sky, their distant peaks capped with snow.

A photo of the Panamint Range at sunset. The mountains are mostly just a silhouette; some snow can be made out on some of the tops. There are clouds that are being lit by the sunset that vary in color from fiery orange near in spots near the top of the mountains to a cotton candy pink toward the top edge of the frame. The sky behind and between the clouds is a blue purple near the top of the frame and it lightens to a light cyan near the center of the mountain range. Lake Manly splits the frame in half and has a reflection of the top half of the frame that was just described, albeit it is darker. Several people can be seen walking in the shallow lake forming ripples in the water and in their reflections, several people are also standing in the lake.

Happy #StunDay! I am currently busy catching up on chores so not a lot of time find a new picture, so a repost will have to do. A pano of Lake Manly in #DeathValley with the Panamint Range reflected at #Sunset. DMs are open for #prints. Check ScottWGonzalez.com for more pics.
