    I have no real complaints in life and I rarely suffer from envy. But I do envy you the access to such beauty. Just stunning.

    Thanks guys...

    I went there to take some star pictures and also for a full moon get-together... The forcast was for clear skies..

    It rained on me the two days I was there ne_nau.gif

    Most of these shots were taken in a light rain except the last one.. The weather was clearing up as I was on my way out.....

    Thanks guys - and everybody else...

    I'll be out there tomorrow looking for some wildflowers............ right now it is overcast and threatening. I couldn't be so unlucky to have it rain twice in a row in Death Valley, of all places.. ne_nau.gif

    These are very nice, Larry. I grew up about 3 hours from Death Valley and never visited it. I think I need to plan a trip out there.

    Just wanted to say how much I liked the third one (Telescope Peak). It just hit me full on. Beautiful colours. Nice job!

    Thanks for sharing.
