I was lucky enough to visit Death Valley while rain clouds made their way over the mountains, a rare occurance. This picture was taken at sunset from Dante's View, about 5500 feet above sea level. Below, the valley floor sits over 200 feet below sea level. Also, that isn't flowing water you're seeing, it's actually a huge salt deposit.

Only five comments on this one, including my own? Very strange. The name of the overlook seems very appropriate for the mood this image invokes. This is a very rare image... count yourself lucky to have been there at the right time to share with the rest of us.

I don't know what to say. You are lucky to be there at the right moment. And even more lucky to be able to capture the feel and look of this magnificent view.
