Me and some buddies got together for a winter get together and it was in Death Valley this year..

I have been in Death Valley before, it was the year 2000. I only had a day to check out what I could, but soon realized that this is one vast park. 8 Years later I returned to the park. The beauty that I saw was truly not only amazing but unique.

I would be scared to be here in the middle of July with temperatures reaching well over 120 degrees, alas in the winter, its wonderful.

I call Death Valley a place of solitude. Its mystery and topography are most inviting. I took most of my shots using a 16-35mm lens on a canon 5D. I also shot some panoramic film stuff, which turned out amazing as well.

This park is so big, I need another couple of weeks to meander about and see the whole place.
