Badwater, Death Valley Nat'l Park, California. · **4 Likes**

Badwater, the lowest point on the North American Continent @ 282 feet below Sea Level, in Death Valley Nat'l Park, California. This day, temperature was 125 deg F. The next day I slept in Yosemite Nat'l Park up in the Sierra Nevada and it was freezing at 6h00 in the morning. Quite a contrast!

It has people to provide life and scale, and the colors are fascinating.

THX !

Death Valley National Park has a plethora of natural features worth exploring. You can easily spend a whole week there and you won't have seen all there is to see.

Regards

This is a very well composed and executed image. Well done Richard.

At my age and with my poor health condition, I will probably never return to Death Valley. But I cherish those images I made a few years ago ...

**SelrahCharleS** · 11-21-2023, 04:32 PM

I love this. The different layers of color make it so interesting. Nicely composed as well, and the people give a nice sense of scale.

And it was taken with a Canon G3X compact, an excellent camera in itself. Colors are a little less warm than Pentax optics but sharpness is very high.

Superb

Crusty looking place, Richard. Excellent capture.

love the contrast between the foreground that looks dead and the mountains brimming with life
