Death Valley - Artist Palette - II

We stopped at the parking are and I ventured up among the boulders to see what I could see.

Death Valley - Artist's Palette

The Artist's Palette is aptly named. This is place filled with color. Not all of it is a rich, saturated color, but it is varied and draws one into the scene.

With more of a watercolor kind of intensity, the colors sometimes seem to be pained in. Parts remind me of neapolitan ice cream.

Other times, I am convinced that this is an other worldly place and that I've been transported to another planet.

With the deep blue sky overhead though, I am reminded that I am, indeed, still on the mother planet where grooves are formed by flowing water and colored hills are the result of chemical compostion.
