The 700-foot-tall Eureka Dunes

These images explore Death Valley. Taken as quick snapshots (only one image was taken with a tripod), a few were taken out the car window, and most were taken pausing only briefly while hiking, or goat-herding.

I think the images on this page portray Death Valley in a way that is revealing, yet true to its character, at least for the territory covered. I hope you enjoy them.
