Zabriskie Point on Flickr.Via Flickr: It was Saturday morning and I was about to embark on my 18 hour journey back to Colorado. Originally I planned to drive my buddy back to Reno and stop in Lake Tahoe for sunset. But after looking at weather and road conditions, I knew that was not a good option. The lower route it won and my buddy Laith decided to fly. After sitting in 2mph traffic for a few hours I knew I was going to mis sunset completely and started planning for sunrise. A few people on G+ helped me out with locations in Death Valley, as I knew nothing and it was too spur the moment to plan ahead. I got to the parking lot at Zabriskie Point at 11pm and just slept in my car. It was around 37 to 47 degrees out, so it wasn't the best car camping conditions! But waking up and walking a few hundred feet up this hill, to see this, was definitely incredible. It sure is weird driving in to a place in complete darkness and and waking up to see where you ended up. Unfortunately there were no clouds but the light here was great. Now its time to shoot in some snowy conditions! Happy Holidays everyone!
