Death Valley Sunrise
After photographing sunset at Rhyolite, I spent the night in a motel-casino in Beatty, Nevada. This motel-casino was truly a disturbing place, with the constant clink of gambling machines invading the air made fetid and stale by old tobacco smoke. Here’s more about my feelings regarding Nevada culture (an oxymoron). View a map of the area towards the bottom of my first story in this series.
Before the sun was up the next morning I was on my way west on Nevade Highway 374. At the Hells Gate entrance to Death Valley National Park, I took a cutoff past the Wonder Mine. A little above the Wonder Mine, I pulled off by the side of the road to photograph the sunrise.
Stop squinting in the sun with polarized sunglasses. Not only do shades look great but read how sunglasses can protect you from aging prematurely. Get that tough look with aviator sunglasses. You can still look stylish while being safe with designer replica sunglasses.
