Death Valley National Park’s Racetrack is one of the most incredible locations for landscape photography. The iconic rocks that litter the playa with mysterious trails behind them are an endless source of wonder. Death Valley in general appears dull and lifeless during most hours of the day, but at sunrise and sunset the landscape transforms from a dull colorless environment to one overflowing with texture and
