This is our third trip to Death Valley. We were here in '97 with a Toronto Focal Forum group and again in 2000, a driving trip. This is our first time photographing this area in a digital format. We arrived on Feb 25 and have 4 full days of shooting available to us ... we'll see what that turns out to be ... but it feels good.
Death Valley has had unusual weather in January and early February, lots of rain, and cold. The Titus Canyon Road is closed and the Playa (Racetrack) is still wet and gooey so these are no longer on our 'possibles' list.
We have 4 full days here and a lot of areas that we can photograph so Death Valley will have this category page and linked pages for specific areas. That should work.
A few days ago I thought this organization structure would work, and I think it does, but I did not anticipate there would be seven different topics.
We had a great visit.
Wildflowers had started blooming as we left and the rain held off until we were out of the park!
