Sand Sunrise

A beautiful sunrise in Death Valley surrounded by Mesquite Dunes.

Death Valley, California, United States - 05 Nov 2024      See on Google Maps

This morning I was on my own and decided to return to Mesquite Dunes where we hiked yesterday. Having already hiked to them the day before, I had no trouble finding a good place to enter the dunes in the dark to be in position before sunrise. Hiking over the dunes desperately trying to find a good composition to the east. I finally settled and put up the tripod. I used the 24-105 at the 24 end to be as wide as possible. Very happy with the sunrise color.
