woobiecat1, 3 years ago | FlagThanks again for another great shot. I have written down your highway directions
for next time I am in the area of Death Valley because I am definitely going down hwy 190 between Badwater Basin and Stovepipe Wells . . . with my camera and my always patient husband. -

I gave this 5 stars.
I had never been to Death Valley before and was only familiar with the name from the 1950's TV show "Death Valley Days" (yes, I did watch it). I was impressed with the beauty of the emptiness and desolation, the distant blue mountains with the expanses of flat sand, dotted with lacey, brownish 'plant life'. The salt flats of Badwater Basin (lowest place in the US at 282ft below sea level) were intriguiging and a great place to do ultra close-ups of salt formations, but what made me fall in love with the area was the absolutely marvelous, drop-dead gorgeous array of colors of the minerals. These images represent just some of what turned me into giggling school girl at every turn (please don't take offense).
Found mainly along hwy 190, between Badwater Basin and Stovepipe Wells, the sand (or gravel) consists of so many colors you have to name them descriptively; chocolate, carmel, turquoise, mustard, vanilla... on and on. Some of the best displays are found along Artist Drive, a curvy, dippy ride thru the colors of creation.
