Trona Pinnacles

[Doug P]

While I would prefer to shoot this location in spring with additional color, these rock formations are a wonder to wander around.

This is a place I have on a long term list of destinations to shoot but have never made it there. Looks quite barren in this shot but I like the formations.

Hey Doug, I am not sure shooting this in the spring makes much difference as it's just so barren out there. But now that you mention it, have you shot it in the spring? Are there many wildflowers around? I just can't recall if I have shot it in the spring. I would guess I have at some point, but nothing is jogging the old memory banks here.

So I do like what you got here. Those clouds are really cool they way they billow out like that.

Yes Alan, for me too. This was more for scouting on my way to Utah. I think spring will be the best, but it would need to be well timed is the feeling i got while wandering. I think it would be similar to the Alabama Hills, so getting one could get you both.

I have never been in spring but have seen images in the spring with wildflowers. Not a carpet of flowers for all the reasons you stated but something for foreground interest for sure. Just google Trona Pinnacles spring wildflowers for a few...

Very nice. In all my years exploring the So Cal desert, I never got here.

This is great.
