First Light – Devils Golf Course

In the heart of Death Valley National Park, there’s a place called the Devil’s Golf Course, known for its surreal salt formations and eerie silence. As you stand amidst this vast salt pan at dawn, the quiet is almost tangible. It’s one of the rare places on Earth where you can truly experience stillness, with only the occasional ringing in your ears.

The sun rises over the Panamint Range, casting a soft, golden light across the landscape. The sky is a tapestry of warm hues, and the rugged terrain slowly comes to life in the gentle morning glow. This unique setting is both breathtaking and challenging to capture, with its intricate salt formations stretching as far as the eye can see.

I’ve visited this place many times, drawn by its haunting beauty and serene atmosphere. This photo encapsulates the essence of the Devil’s Golf Course, a stunning testament to the remarkable and enigmatic landscapes of Death Valley.
