Dante Lends a Helping Hand

[ProCaliberTraveler]

To shoot the sunrise at Lake Manly in Death Valley National Park, this time I only had to leave at 0500 because I camped overnight at Stovepipe Wells. There was no color in the western sky, nor did Telescope Peak light up because of clouds in the east. But, I was treated to this relaxing blue/teal color, as well as the reflection of the full moon from Dante's View.

Sweet - that's just not the view my brain expects to see from that spot. Definitely a keeper of a shot.

Very nice. Most of DV seems to have a different look now with all the rains.

Great image, Mike. I was actually going to go there today until I came down with a nasty cold and almost all of the lodging was taken up. It would have cost me over a thousand dollars to stay two nights.

Thanks, Douglas. Were you looking at rooms in the Furnace Creek Inn or the Ranch?

The Ranch. The base rate was $380 plus taxes and a resort fee and, meals. Also add in the cost for gasoline. I might have done it if I was feeling better.

Worth getting up early for sure. As Alan said, the views from here are usually warm toned and this is so cold toned, just seems unworldly.

Very cool Michael! I had almost gone there a few days ago, but I had a tax appointment on Saturday so instead I went to Yosemite.

The cool blue tones is really special!
