I went to Death Valley a couple of years ago and it definetly was not green but still I could find beauty there. I wanted to go and see it green but money was an issue. thanks for sharing this wonderful capture. I could only imagine the poor tricked Chinese there years ago during the borax mining not recieving pay and unable to walk out, starving on meager food and working all the daylite hours no matter the 120 degree weather and freezing at nite during the winter

It magic I tell you! You turned the desert into a beautiful cool paradise. Beautiful job. Aloha

Breathtaking!!

Wowzers... what a great shot...nicely framed...mother nature can do some great and awful stuff..this is one of her great moments that you caught...
