Badwater, the lowest place in North America, 282 feet or 86 meters below sea level. It was our last stop on our visit to Death Valley. There is a spring bubbling extremely salty water to the surface. A plank walkway runs a short way from the parking lot to the caked salt flats, which seem to run on indefinitely. There's a metaphor here somewhere. And to add another layer, it rained for most of our drive from Furnace Creek to Las Vegas, the rarest occurrence here.
I'm writing this between flights at Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport on our way home. Back to sort of normal tomorrow although I'll probably post Death Valley material for a couple of days (no STL new material on hand). There are lots more good DV shots on my Flickr site here and U "R" Us' here.

ReplyDeleteI like it when places are named for what they are, and Badwater is a perfect example. Great perspective in your photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweep you've captured here. Excellent image.
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific shot B. The black figures just make it don't they! I'm going to get some coffee and stroll through the Flickr sites. I'll bet the prince got some nice ones too! :)

«Louis» remembers drinking some of that one night in college.
Had a Jim Beam label on it.
Baaaaaaad hangover.
No mas, Tomas!
A great place to discover indeed. I guess that it's coolest in January than it was last summer :-)
