You arrive at the Racetrack, a dry lake bed in Death Valley, after a car ride of some hours duration. The emptiness is a little unsettling at first.
When it rains the muddy surface becomes slick and slippery—the wind then pushes rocks in straight lines across the lake bed, this accounts for the mini-boulders scattered here and there on the playa. Sometimes they leave grooves in the mud behind them.

Now this really is spectacular. I hope you'll get a couple of these framed and ready for your next show.
Black and white? I keep hoping that someone will eventually appreciate the B&W retro look.
I do love the B&W retro look especially for this image--absolutely stunning. I think this one might end up being as popular as "Convict Lake."
Since I've started doing Art Fairs I've become more sensitized to the issue of "saleability." Will probably need to discuss in a future blog entry.
