The footprints we made on the way onto the dune in Death Valley before sunrise were nearly covered by the time we worked our way back only a few hours later.

This wonderful old hasp and National Park Service lock was taken at Scotty's Castle in Death Valley. I love love old contraptions like this. Scotty's Castle was built in the 20s and 30s and a bit too touristy for my tastes, but we sure did find some interesting parts to photograph. www.nps.gov/deva/historyculture/scottys-castle.htm

I play a lot with light and shadow. Finding a seldom-seen rainstorm at sunset at the dunes is pure joy. The fun story here is that the folks at the front desk apologized for the 'bad weather' that day. Yay! No plain blue skies for us today! Storm chasing thru the desert! May 1, 2018
