We got up to Dante's View a little later than we planned, but there was still some gorgeous light along the horizon. The bright sky served to underscore how desolate the landscape looked.
ot to Zabriskie Point before sunrise, and then watched the place fill up with photographers! Not any good clouds and a difficult dynamic range made this a tough subject. I took lots of shots but this one right before the sun hits Manly Beacon is my favorite.
After an exhausting walk out to the dunes to catch sunrise, the clouds blocked the direct sun. There was still some very subtle coloring coming form the sky that reflected on the dunes as the sun struggled to break through.
