Have been working on photography ever since I was in high school. It is a passion that comes naturally to me. Checking my normal checklist on where am suppose to travel to then trying to envision it.
"Death Valley" I read it out loud
It's located in the Eastern California. I have never been there ,I was born and raised in Las Vegas but moved to California a year ago so I was really excited because have heard lots of great stories about it and even watched some documnetaries.
I wanted to experience the deep silence and colourful rocks and more out of it.
3.00pm my watch read. I wanted to capture the beautiful sunset. It was actually the perfect time to visit and we all know an evening iconic photography doesn't go beyond without the sunset blossoms and the fact that the sun sets at 6pm in late September during summer.
Part of me wanted to call my best friend Adam because I'd need a friend by my side to share the the pleasure of viewing all the beautiful stuff there but I love traveling alone, for the freedom, quiet and the unique perspective it brings so I started my 2 hours journey.
The roads shimmered in the sun's heat . It was getting tough and tough each minute that passed but I was really prepared to face the vastness of the Death Valley.
My car climbs the foothills of the bikers and the sprawling sand dunes. There and then i knew I was getting closer to the one and only place that always grabbed my attention from its name. Somehow my attention was divided between being scared and excited to view more.
The edge of the cloud there was a brilliant white patch, just enough to announce the coming sunset. Minutes later it was out and the sky was pure orange. And to make it more beautiful it started drizzling. The sun shines. The water glistens in the bright light.
I got out of the car real quick to capture the beautiful moment. Wind swirls around me, unsettling the hot sand beneath my feet.
It was mesmerising. Death Valley was more of a living Valley.
