This weekend, I started a road trip to California. This included a stay of two nights in Death Valley. As the sun was about to set, I made my way to the Playa, where I captured this spectacular sunset.

Yesterday, I headed to Titus Canyon. Stopping along the way, I found some interesting plants. At this point, the sky was filled with various clouds during the late morning, so I captured in this image.

This morning, while waiting for the sun to rise, I made this image at Zabriskie Point.

Heading down to the coast, I drove past Lake Isabelle and followed the route along the Kern River. There are still fall colors this late in the season.

The sun was coming in and out from the clouds. In this image, the sun lit up the mountain hillside in the center background.

As I exited the Kern River canyon, the sun was setting on arrival to Bakersfield.
