Photographer’s Note

During my first tour in Califronia I visited Death Valley, spending one day in this very warm and very strange place.
In Death Valley there are many places of great interest, th highly motivate a tour in such an unpleasant climate.


This area located within Death Valley, Ca, is called "Artist Palette" for having various colors of rock. These colors are caused by the oxidation of different metals (red, pink and yellow is from iron salts, green is from decomposing tuff-derived mica, and manganese produces the purple).
