Alive (in Death Valley)

The first word that entered my head as I entered Death Valley Nat'l Park was playground. 

In this place where everything goes to die, the unearthly sense of scale took the mind to a place where rules had died too.

I started searching for the wildest landscapes, the wildest light, and then I started running…

Badwater basin, the lowest point in the United States
Running through a joshua tree grove on the way to the Racetrack
Running through the Racetrack, at Death Valley, at night
Running in the Eureka Dunes before sunrise
Jumping off a sand mountain in the Eureka Dunes area of Death Valley
