I attended a photography workshop led by Stephen Johnson in Death Valley. Stephen did a wonderful job of arranging great sites every day, from dawn to sunset. This was my first trip to Death Valley, and it's spectacular. Contrary to its name, it's full of life, and the colors, shapes and light are magnificent. The winter weather is marvelous - high 60's (F) in the day, low 40's and into the 30's at night.
