Gravel Ghost, Atrichoseris Platyphylia(?). 3/21/26 - Daylight Pass Road, Death Valley National Park. Not a super bloom; and most have already burned out; but not all.

Soft pastel sand dunes curve gently through a desert valley, layered against distant ridges in muted pink, lavender, and beige tones.

A shallow desert pool reflects distant mountain ranges, creating a near-perfect mirror image beneath a pale sky in a quiet, arid landscape.

A view down into the Panamint Valley from the surrounding mountains. On the valley floor there's a dry lake bed and some dunes. The light is harsh and smoke-inflected from distant bushfires.
Harsh (smoky) light, Panamint Valley from Hunter Mountain Road, California (a decade or two ago).

A desert dirt track curves off to the left in a rocky desert landscape of hills and mountains in a slightly smoky light.

A narrow dirt track leads away from the camera across a scrubby desert plain through scattered Joshua trees (Yucca Brevifolia) towards some low hills. The light is subdued and a little odd — there have been brush fires affecting the air for several days.

The ruins of an old salt tram installation sit on the edge of a salt lake in California's Saline Valley.
Saline Valley, California, early 1990's (before it became part of DVNP, I think).

A black-and-white shot of a large sand dune rising up in multiple ridges to a slightly-cloudy sky. The dune is streaked with dark sand.
More Eureka Dunes with the characteristic black traces and flows in the sand (Death Valley National Park, 2025). Not the best pix I've ever done of the place, but never mind…

At Eureka Dunes, Death Valley National Park (2025). The light was terrible; this wasn't one of the better trips for photos, unfortunately, but I always love the dunes, pix or not…

A minimalist abstract photograph of Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley. Soft pastel pinks and purples sweep across layered sand ridges and curves, creating a serene, dreamlike composition of light and texture.

What it looked like sixteen years later, in 2016…

A battered old wooden sign stands next to the equally battered rough old dirt track known as the Racetrack Road in Death Valley National Park at what's known as Teakettle Junction. It's (predictably) got a couple of teat kettles hanging from it, despite being what is a long way from anywhere. In the background the sharp dark peaks of the Ubehebe range. Oh, and I'm about to be snowed on… heavily.
Teakettle Junction, the Racetrack Road, Death Valley National Park, 2000(ish) — before the sign got totally inundated with kettles.

Man walking in the shadows of a colorful canyon
Walking through canyon without a backpack of photography gear, water and the ten essentials seems so freeing. But having a dad who was a Scout leader means I'll never do it.

A solitary Joshua tree stands in a golden-brown desert expanse, its spiky limbs reaching upward against a rocky, sunlit slope dotted with more distant trees. The scene is quiet, sun-drenched, and steeped in high desert mood.
Spotted this impressive #JoshuaTree by the road while driving from #DVNP to the Alabama Hills.

A monochrome photograph of an eroded desert landscape, featuring a series of smooth, undulating ridges. The intricate textures and deep shadows emphasize the dramatic patterns formed by natural erosion, creating a stark and abstract visual.
Braids of Silver
While the crowd gathered to watch the sunset, I turned my lens to the quiet beauty of the Zabriskie badlands, finding solitude in the textures and light.

Ghosts of Yesterday
Another experiment of the 50-140 with an 850nm IR filter on a non-ir camera. Really soft and large hot spot in the center, but nice ghostly effect.
