Shadow Shot Sunday

Dantes View 12
Early morning at Dante's View, a mile (and then some) above Death Valley.

Want to play along? Here are the rules. And here is this week's shadow shot from Harriet, plus a selection of last week's from others.

    Whoa! That is one incredible view! As Shannon said, it does look a little spooky and very fitting for a place called Death Valley!

    The shadow of death
    creeps across torrid valley,
    looking for victims.

    Trying to figure out how those bright patches are there....

    Dante's View is on the crest of a ridge; the sun is behind me in this shot, low-angled, so it picks up anything that sticks up above the shadow line (in this case, sagebrush).

    Speaking of Ansel Adams... That is stunningly good.
