I Found Myself Driving, Hours Upon Hours (Death Valley National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: I Found Myself Driving, Hours Upon Hours Just for the possibility of seeing this again Recent snow storms had allowed me To see another beauty of southern California But it also closed roads, with the one here being one At least, until earlier that day You didn’t disappoint years ago And you’re still wondrous today Mountain peaks and Badwater An imaginary Mos Eisley The wind takes away my breath, Literally and figuratively, when I take in this view Dante’s View, you only bring out awe Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Death Valley National Park at Dantes View. My thought on composing this image was a simple landscape one with my Nikon SLR camera angled slightly downward to capture a sweeping view down the mountainside, across Badwater Basin, and then to the snowcapped peaks of the Panamint Range. I would lose much of the blue skies above, but I felt this alignment helped to bring out a wider angle, almost panoramic feel with the image captured. My thought on this location brought back memories from April 2015 on an earlier visit seeing this wondrous landscape in a national park. I could imagine a Star Wars setting with Mos Eisley as well as just the natural beauty present. There was a wind blowing that could easily take one’s breath away but had that crisp, cool feel with the low temperatures to make for an enjoyable, brisk walk along the trails and ridges. If you look at the lower portion of the image just left of center, you will notice a what looks like a thin white walkway jutting out. You can zoom in and notice tiny ant people walking along Badwater Basin, almost 6000 feet below!

‘New Trees’ (2012) ph. Robert Voit

Voit's photographed cell phone towers camouflaged as trees across multiple countries, from Britain to the US and South Africa. In pursuit of seamless connectivity, there is a strong public objection to the unsightly appearance of bare cell phone towers. As a result, many companies opt to disguise these towers as trees, church steeples, flag poles, water tanks, and various other structures. These are widely known as "stealth towers" or "stealth installations."

My Outdoor Wellness Trip by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the south down Kelbaker Rd. Here I wanted to capture a look down the road with the more distant ridges and peaks of the Mojave Desert Range in this portion of California.

Smith Mountain and Distant Views of the Northwest Mojave Ranges (Death Valley National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking the Dantes View Trail with a view looking to the south in Death Valley National Park. My thought on composing this image was to use the ridge I was on as a leading line into the image and then down the mountainside to the basin and valley below. While I did want to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to bring out more of a sweeping view, I was also limited by how much because of the sun's position in the sky and minimizing any artifacts across the camera lens.

A View of Badwater Basin from Dantes View (Death Valley National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at Dantes View looking to the west my thought on composing this image was to center the walkway that is present in the lower portion of the image but include some of the surrounding salt basin with its patterns. I felt that including some of the mountainside was an important perspective for this setting, especially as it goes down about 6000 feet to below sea level. If one pixel peeped, it would be possible to see the ant like people walking in the Badwater Basin. The rest of the composition was attempting to get an alignment with the walkway and the salt patterns and having that fill most of the image from edge to edge.

Hoodoos and a View Beyond at Rainbow Point (Bryce Canyon National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the north while taking in views across hoodoos and other eroded formations at Rainbow Point in Bryce Canyon National Park. My thought on composing this image was to take advantage of the color contrast between the nearby hoodoos with its reds and oranges along the escarpment edge with that of the greens of the evergreen trees in the lower valley and canyon area. I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward as I felt it better brought out that view to allow the eyes to slowly move across this national park landscape and be drawn into the image.
