Manly Beacon Morning Light

The last camping trip of 2019 over the holidays was pretty eventful one! Between a flat tire on a remote dirt road with no cell service on Christmas Day as the sun was setting, only to find our spare tire inexplicably locked with a cable and padlock which required an 8 mile drive on our flat to the paved road, eventually required a 40 mile hitchhike ride back to our camp and a tow all the way to Pahrump, Nevada the next day, I don’t think we’ve ever worked so hard to capture so few images! But we managed a few, and I have a newfound appreciation for the vast rugged wilderness that is Death Valley. This is from a calmer, less eventful morning at Zabriskie Point with beautiful morning light illuminating Manly Beacon and the badlands in the foreground and dappled light dancing across the Panamint Range in the distance.
