I don't normally include my vehicle when I'm out and about but I thought this one might work with nice light and clouds. This is Butte Valley and Striped Butte in Death Valley N.P.

Nice one, I sometimes include my vehicle too. It's the enabler for this kind of photography.

I'm not sure I can see even a single tree in this frame. Not much of a place to seek out shade 
Familiar looking truck - an access cab Taco. I say familiar because I also have one although without a shell on the back.

Nice image - with or without the vehicle.

I have a shade structure on the side of my shell. The long black thing on the driver's side.

I was looking at how you had that set up. Looks like a shallow storage area just below that or is that just a window to the inside?

I have been thinking about going out to photograph this wonderful geological feature. How hard is this to get to, Kurt. I have heard various reports.

The road was fairly decent. It had been recently graded up to the lower mine. After that it was in fairly good shape as far as DV roads go.

Thanks, Kurt.

Actually, that wasn't missing!
Love it Kurt! I really need to get out there too. That's a feature I haven't photographed before.
And thanks for including your truck, I think for all of us that spend so much time out on the backroads traveling and exploring, it's always interesting to see other peoples vehicles and what they are using.

I love Butte Valley, and the soft pastels and sunset with a beer sounds very nice. Good balance between the Striped Butte and the truck, too.
If my Rav4 (albeit with offroad tires) made it up there last year, anything with clearance should be able to make it with appropriate cautious driving.
