Description
The golden hour was certainly true for sunrise this morning over Manly Beacon at Zabriske Point, Death Valley National Park, California. Borates, which made up a large portion of Death Valley's historical past were concentrated in the lake beds from hot spring waters and alteration of rhyolite in the nearby volcanic field. Weathering and alteration by thermal waters are also responsible for the variety of colors represented. The dark-colored material capping the badland ridges is lava from eruptions that occurred three to five million years ago.
Converted from a color photograph to produce the graphic monochrome image. Image was made with a zoom lens in order to compress the scene giving the appearance that the mountain range in the distance is closer than in reality.

Wonderful image and it is so perfect for monochrome with all those great lines and the depth. Nice work! L/F/FB
