Here's a follow-up to the last post ...
Since most people disagreed with me on the effectiveness of the sepia tone in bringing out the reflection with clarity, here's the picture in color:



Where: Mirror lakes, Fiordland National Park, South Island, New Zealand
When: Summer '07, Roadtrip

And here's this weeks pic:

Where: Death Valley National Park, California, USA
When: Spring break, 2006
Photographer, Camera: Me, Olympus (Krishna's camera)

So we (me and a bunch of friends) were having awesome fun rolling in the huge sand dunes in Death Valley, which is by the way a land of magnificient extremes. A must-see for anyone living in the US, I'd say. And yeah, as the sand-dune-rolling continued, the sunset was quick, dramatic and transient, with hues changing by the second. Even a certain Mr.Dali would have been enraptured by this awesome sight. This photograph was taken during the dying moments of sunset, with the rays illuminating the edge of the desert and the contours of the Pantamint mountains. Breathtaking and spiritual.
