California High Desert Through A Windshield


On the way to Death Valley, Christina and I encountered long stretches of open road.


While Christina drove, I took pictures of the flat desert landscape surrounded by mountains.


With views I have so come to love since I first saw a desert sunrise back in 2006. 


We were high up here, going down toward the road to Death Valley.


Which lies behind those mountains in the distance.


Christina was great, she drove most of the way there and all the way home. And, once she figured out I wasn't attached to driving, she, my guest from Sweden, actually drove the entire time. 


While living in the high desert, in addition to clouds, sunrises, and sunsets, I have become very fond of rocks. I thought the ones straight ahead here, were just beautiful. 


I don't have a bucket list, but if I did, Death Valley would definitely be on it. High up. Here we are getting closer......

  4. Hi Inger - I can see what you can see in the desert landscape ... it's special and different. I hope you get to Death Valley sometime ... and I imagine there must be some fascinating finds there - flora and fauna and rocks that are all slightly different. I too am rather fond of rocks etc Lovely photos - cheers and hugs Hilary

  5. Dear Inger, thank you for these photographs of such incredible landscapes. I've never been anywhere near Death Valley and have been in California only once--a flight into and out of San Francisco many years ago. So your photographs show me scenes that enrich my life and my imagination. You must have gotten such great enjoyment from this trip with your friend. Peace.
