Death Valley National Park, USA / / The Ubehebe Crater system contains several volcanic craters, cinder cones and ash hills, all resulting from an explosive steam eruption approx. 2,000 years ago, when rising magma met an underground lake. Ubehebe is by far the largest crater, 2,400 feet in diameter and 500 feet deep and presents a very colorful spectacle with variegated, buckled strata around its sides and grey-black ash on the rim. A slippery climb with an awesome view !
Taken at, yet again, Death Valley National Park, CA at dawn
The sand dunes at Mesquite Flats, just outside Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley National Park. Having spent the night sleeping on a park bench at the camp ground outside Furnace Creek, I raced up here ahead of the sunrise for a nice 5.30am photoshoot to make the most of the early light. I love how low horizontal sunlight brings out the texture in the dunes- by 8am this place is pretty much a washout, but I had a good sixty minutes of gorgeous tones and contrast… and yes, left my tracks all over the sand. Another spot I can’t wait to head back to someday. May 2007.

Featured in “National Parks of the World” – June 2009. Here in one of the hottest places on earth, large rocks appear to race one another around a dry lake bed leaving long trails behind them and small piles of dried mud in front of them. No one has seen them move but the evidence shows that they do…somehow. The practical theory is that the combination of seasonal heavy rains and very high speed winds can push these rocks, sometimes weighing as much as the average person, across the slippery muddy surface of the usually dry lake. On cold winter nights, sheets of ice probably also contribute to the movement of these “sailing stones.” [Wikipedia entry – Racetrack Playa] [U.S. National Park Service website] / Copyright © 2004 Brian W.
