Here’s three versions of four palms near Furnace Creek. This one was made with a 35mm camera and color film.
This version was made with an iPhoneX and edited using Snapseed.
This version was made with the Hipstamatic application and an iPhoneX. The California Fan Palm is not native to Death Valley. They were planted as ornamental trees. The palms crowd out native species and consume lots of water. That said, I have a thing for palms. Very photogenic in a desert setting.
Alice and I just finished a two week road trip. Our first stop was Manzanar Japanese internment camp in the Owens Valley. Origami Cranes in the visitors center.
It was cold and very windy. Not many visitors chose to explore the outside areas. Manzanar is a powerful reminder of a shameful period in US history.
Three random scenes that caught my eye. Still life with yellow chairs and big, white boots, Oakland, CA.Still life with chopsticks, spoons and sunglasses, Berkeley, CA.Hand painted sign and old stoves, Oakland, CA.
