- This looks like someone’s shadow hand puppets
Yes there is a Natural Artist’s Palette in the multi-colored badlands in Death Valley National Park. We visited Death Valley, California this past June. We drove on Artist’s Drive and enjoyed the multi-colored claystones from the ancient ashfalls.
The first photograph was shot with a wide angle lens. The 2nd and 3rd photographs were shot with my zoom lens.
I really like the natural color combination in the 2nd photograph. The shadow in the 3rd photograph resembles someone’s shadow hand puppet. I don’t know where that shadow really came from.
As I was at one spot shooting these badlands, someone asked me to take his picture. He noticed my camera equipment and assumed I was a photographer. We enjoyed a nice time talking with “Eric”, from Phoenix, about the wonderful scenery, his camping vacation, and the various locations he visited. We encountered Eric a couple of times later as we both stopped at different spots on Artist’s Drive.
It was fun to view the Artist’s Palette formations and share the experience with our family and another friendly outdoor enthusiast.
Eric – Hope you will be able to look at my website to enjoy the pictures the Artist’s Palette.
Please enjoy the true and untouched colors of my Artist’s Palette photographs!
These slot canyons are very interesting to look at with the layered walls. This is a relaxing hike compared to Antelope Canyon since there is little people traffic. We encountered 3 parties of people while we hiked.
We went to visit Athabasca Glacier in Jaspar National Park in July 2013. During our tour of the Canadian Rockies, we mostly enjoyed summer weather until we came to the glacier. We were prepared with warmer clothes and gloves so we could walk on the glacier.
We went to visit Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada in July 2013. This photograph reminds me how beautiful Lake Moraine is especially with the Canadian Rockies’ reflection.
I was walking along the shores of Lake Louise in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, and saw a couple canoeing across the lake. The red canoe really stood out while gliding on top of the glacial turquoise water in the lake. I also like the peaceful still water.
We were hiking on the Trappers Run Trail in Vail Colorado during the Fall in 2016 after the changing of the leaves. The picture was taken later in the afternoon with the foreground in the sunlight and the background mountain in complete shade. That really helped to separate the lightly colored branches from the dark background.
I took this photograph at the height of fall foliage in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. I was so excited seeing all the bright fall colors and took so many photographs. Every time I review these photographs I see something new.
I love “Fall”. When I photographed this image, I was in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and happened to be there during the one week where Fall Foliage was at its peak. Being from California, I never saw such brilliant colors during the fall. It was also the start of a greater fascination with fall colors.
We went to the North Window view in Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation 3 years ago. This photograph does look like a scene in an old time Western movie. Monument Valley was used as the location for many Western movies which is why this photograph reminds of the American West.
Taking photographs in the late afternoon is a good time of day for showing dimensions with this sun position. I really like the gradient horizontal color variations. It reminds me of an alien landscape. The individual hoodoos almost look like aliens from another galaxy.
