Mesquite Flats Dunes on an Overcast Morning

            Our last day in Death Valley we were hoping for an epic sunrise over the dunes. We arrived before first light and what had been a cloudless sky for the prior three days was thick with clouds. But we held out hope as the mountains to the East began to light with a bright red glow above their peaks. Alas, the red soon faded and neither the sky nor the dunes ever lit up. The soft light on the dune was our consolation and I got this shot of a softly lit dune against of the dark mountains, with a lone hiker for perspective.
