The first time I was in Death Valley I was with the now ex, I drove there myself in 2017. I should have taken better photos than these but oops! Death Valley is a very strange place, standing still and looking around you, you have a sense of how ancient this place is. Imagine the stories it could tell us about the many millennia it has seen. Millions of years of climate change and being submerged in a shallow sea 200 million years ago!
I look back at some of my old pictures and feel the same about how I should have done a better job. Either way, your pictures look nice. I’ve never been to Death Valley before, but I’d like to. Probably in the winter though.
Thanks! Winter is best, far more comfortable temperatures. ❤️
Hopefully we will get there some day, I’ve always heard about it.
It will be there when you come!
I’ve not been there but it seems to be fascinating place. Great shots, John!
Thanks, I need to go back for more. ☺️
Most welcome!
It’s like an open geological history book. Let’s hope this is not the way the whole world will end.
That’s a good way to look at the place, thanks Rudi!
Fascinating
Thanks Derrick, it’s great for people who find geology fascinating!
I have always wanted to go there and visit Scotty’s Castle
Is that what it’s called? I remember being there with the ex several years ago but she ran off and left me to live our dream! $%@&^
Yes, but I just read that it is still closed probably until December due to a Flood and Fire that swept through a few years ago.
Death Valley is indeed a strange, interesting place. Appealing and horrifying at the same time. I really enjoyed hiking and camping there in the winter, while I always was scared to death while driving through in the summer (what if the car broke down? The air-condition quit? etc..etc..) Great photos!
Hi Maria, thanks for your memories in that valley! Your fear of a breakdown are very justified, I have the same thought even driving around town. How about a trip to Laughlin or Parump in summer? 😯
Good shots, John. 👍
Why thanks so much! I should make another run over there and be better organised next time…
