the formation

Hoodoo in Death Valley, CA - there is something dreamlike about visiting Death Valley.  The landscape is so foreign, even alien to what most of us experience every day that you can’t help but wander down the roads staring off in every direction with so much to see from vast sand dunes, to slot canyons, to the salt flats of Badwater Basin where this hoodoo formed.

the divide

Death Valley is one of those places that can feel very surreal.  From the dunes and mud flats to the amazing colors that seem to change throughout the day, it’s like another world.  I never get tired of going there, you know what I mean if you’ve been there too :)

This photo was taken at Ubehebe Crater.  It is an ancient volcano, with lots of loose pumice and a little trail going around the rim that beconed for you to walk down it, and when you do it’s like you have tunnel vision since you don’t want to slip down the loose pumice on either side.  I used a tilt-shift lens to only get that sliver in focus.
