Death Valley Layer Moon
I made this image of a full moon rising over the Panamint Mountains after all the “good light” left the valley.

The Panamint Mountain Range rises dramatically on the western side of Death Valley, offering some of the most breathtaking and rugged landscapes in the region. Stretching approximately 100 miles, this range features Telescope Peak, the highest point in Death Valley National Park at 11,043 feet. The mountains are characterized by steep canyons, diverse geology, and stunning vistas. They provide a stark contrast to the valley floor below, with elevations dropping sharply to the below-sea-level basin. The range supports a variety of wildlife and plant species adapted to the arid environment, making it a vital component of Death Valley's unique ecosystem.
