The Red Cathedral is less than an hour hike up Golden Canyon. The formation consists of red oxidized rocks and contrasts nicely with the yellow mudstones and siltstones of Golden Canyon.

A final shot back toward the dunes before I hiked the hour back to my car.

Death Valley 2013–Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes 7
The sun was getting higher and soon the ripples and shadows would be gone from the dunes. It is an 8 hour drive from my home to Death Valley; it was a 26 mile drive to the dune area and another hour’s hike into the dunes with my tripod and cameras. Every moment was worth it!

Another black and white conversion. This was taken with the 70-300mm telephoto to isolate the arc line at the left.

Death Valley 2013–Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes 5
The contrast of light and shadow makes for good black and white conversion from the original color. The Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes cover about 14 square miles of Death Valley. This was taken as I hiked back out of the dunes.
