Racetrack Playa

- Marks left by debris post dust devil
-
- Curves caused by rocks (not car tracks)

- John Tsitouras points to the unusal rock traces
-
- Looks like a shoreline — lighter sand pushed by the wind
-
- Nice contrast of light and dark
-
- John follows the path of a 100-pound rock
-
- The famous playa seen from the south
-
- Sunset at Rhyolite Ghost Town
-
- “The Last Supper” sculpture at Rhyolite
-
- Rocks on a move at the southern end of the playa
-
- One of my favorite shots — also in the southern end of the playa
Here are some images I shot of the Racetrack Playa in Death Valley National Park in April, 2006. Here is an article that describes part of that journey.
What a fascinating place. I long for the day where i may feel that I have seen enough of touring the main parts of these parts for now and could warrant taking my time exploring places like Death Valley in real depth.
Well, got to be able to dream !
Yeah, the next time you get in this part of the world, we’ll have to schedule an outing there so you can see it for yourself!
Sounds good to me !
