Death Valley, California
The salt pans are so caustic that they actually eat into the soles of your shoes.
An uncharacteristically cold day at one of the hottest places on the planet - 282 feet below sea level
Now I see why it has this name!! My gosh, it looks pretty darned awful eh?! Would be hard to get a "pretty" shot of it. But I'm glad you let us see what it does look like..Verena
Seems to give Death Valley a cold, dark feeling to it. Often when I think of Death Valley, I imagine the opposite: hot and sunny and all, but this is a totally different view from my mind's eye.
