Back in January, I was exploring around Death Valley National Park and I wandered up to the Ubehebe Crater area where I spotted some accents in the foothills of Tin Mountain. The afternoon Sun was backlighting some copper and reddish plants, which I think are possibly buckwheat. Those plants backlit by the Sun accented the undulating foothills and all of the patterns of erosion of ridges and valleys and gorges which the light was raking across. I was able to isolate some of this area with my longest lens as I hunted for compositions of the hills. Many of my attempts were not successful, but I rather like this one. The tectonic forces that form this landscape are slowly under the assault of periodic flash floods which work to tear down the mountains that the Earth is building up. The evidence is everywhere, even if the rains come seldom in human timescales.
