Desert Wanderings
Desert landscapes are among my favorite places to wander without any plan. As an example, Death Valley National Park--a place with few trails--offers a lifetime of opportunities for independent exploration. With its expansive feel, minimalist features, and constant dynamism, this park continues to hold my attention. Other desert landscapes, like those included in this portfolio, offer similar benefits. These ideas, along with the theme of warmer light and colors, pull together this gallery from desert landscapes across the American West. Click here to return to my portfolio homepage.
