Iย photographedย “Death Valley Salt Flats II,” near Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America, atย 282 ft (86 m) below sea level.
Death Valley is the most other-worldly place Jean and I have ever encountered, both on the ground and from aloft. Swirling “salt devils” arise from bone-white salt flats to pierce a cobalt sky, contrasting against shockingly vibrant mineral deposits tinting the surrounding cliffs and mountains with unnatural color.
Read myย Flying Carpetย column, “Birthday Flowers,” describing this particular trip. (This column first appeared inย AOPA Flight Trainingย magazine, June, 2005.)
โDeath Valley Salt Flats IIโย debuts in Limited Edition 27″x40″ and 24″x36″ prints, and Open Editions of 16″x24″ and 10″x14″. Print prices start at $175. See detailed pricing and ordering information.
Like all myย Views from the Flying Carpet, this photograph was collaboratively tuned for print with Master Photographic Printer Richard Jackson, who prints for the worldโs finest photographers.ย Each individual print is meticulously crafted, mounted as appropriate, and packaged for shipping under Mr. Jacksonโs supervision.
