There was a tree called Georges' Tree besides the Owens River that was a favorite for photographers for a long time. That tree unfortunately no longer exists and has been swept away by the meandering river. Back in 2013, while exploring other opportunities in this area I found this nearby tree that I call Georges' Sister. Although not besides the river, the white wildflowers besides the tree beautifully complemented the scene.
No one really knows how these stones move and leave these interesting trails behind them in this dry and arid but beautiful landscape of Death Valley. It was amazing to have this vast expanse to ourselves as we marveled the beauty of the space in front of us.
There was a single seagull sitting on top the sea stack enjoying the sunset. The view must have been mesmerizing enough that it stood still for the entire 20 second long exposure.
