this was close to las vegas. from afar this looked like a giant stretch of water, glistening in the sun. almost, but not entirely. and indeed, when we got closer it was just this... we saw a photoshoot going on (it was right next to the highway), and then decided we wanted to see it from closeby as well! i think this place is used for many photoshoots, doesnt it somehow look familiar? the ground cracked, nothing nearby, just the mountains in the background and the hot sun above you.
i found it a little scary to drive there, somehow i expected it to end at some point. or that we would disappear into the ground as it could not hold us... but that all didnt happen!! :)
im just very amazed by the desert and the numerous forms it can take on..... wouldnt mind to go again and explore a little more...

scorched earth
Go to Death Valley in the spring - March is best & there may be wildflowers. Autumn's not bad either if it's cooled down. It has sand dunes, playas like this, beautiful mountains, interesting canyons, and a vastness so quiet you can hear your hear pumping. It's huge and takes a little time to adjust to and absorb but it's a lesson in Beautiful Desert 101.
What a great photo. I love desserts and your photo brings back memories of our drive from LA to Las Vegas.
What a fantastic landscape!
Would love to go there also CaT. Love remote desert locations. Thanks for sharing.
It looks like the photos of Africa in the papers with a lack of rain. The cracking must be scary...
