This is the Artist's Drive or Artist's Palette area in Death Valley. Noted for many different colors of rock caused by the oxidation of different metals in the rock. Normally when I take landscape pictures, I try to frame the picture so that all human made structures are excluded. I really liked the depth this road into the distance provided in this picture. I read something about this in a photography magazine, something about parallel lines, but can't remember why they're supposed to be good, but it does seem to work in this picture.
