On the second morning of our Death Valley trip we took it easy. We slept in a little bit and a beautiful mixture of clouds and clear sky greeted us. After a good breakfast from the buffet in the restaurant at Stovepipe Wells we packed our things, loaded the car, checked out, and drove the short distance to the dunes of Mesquite Flat*.
Clouds
This post tag is used only when clouds play a dominant role in the photos.
Middle Basin Morning
After the sunrise at Zabriskie Point we went on to hike Desolation Canyon, which is just a short distance away. As mentioned in the previous post, clouds began to move in quickly. We drove down from Zabriskie Point, made our left turn from CA-190 onto Badwater Road, and wow! A beautiful stripe of warm morning light illuminated the landscape.
Laguna Crest Views Part 2: Black & White
As promised (to myself;-) here are further impressions from my various visits to the Laguna Crest during the North American Monsoon season in San Diego, this time in black & white.

The feature image and title of this article combined must seem like click-bait or some odd form of humble-bragging. That is not my intention: the photo really isn’t the one that I set out to make… and have been trying to make, for quite some time!
More Monsoon Impressions
Monsoon has come to a pause this week, but last Saturday, Shuwen and I went up to the Laguna Mountains again, to dive into this weather and its potential for drama one more time.
Monsoon Impressions
I guess some of you would not really have expected it anymore but, despite all the “throwbacks” and “cleaning out the vaults”, I actually do make new photos, still! Just last Sunday, Shuwen and I drove up to the Laguna Mountains together with our friend Tracy because the “monsoon forecast” sounded pretty good.
