22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Weather in Death Valley National Park.

This image was taken in a largely deserted valley adjacent to Death Valley within Death Valley National Park. The area is known for its intense heat, sunshine and vast landscape void of human markers. To encounter not only storm clouds but also a lone vehicle of a camper was in stark contrast of expectations. The adventurous spirit of this lone human dwarfed by the elements ads further drama to this scene.
