Death Valley National Park, California

This is the point when the great morning light had transitioned into the brutal harshness of late morning. All that was left was the most simplistic of objects in that light. I noticed the contrail was pointing at the dark spot on the sand and I liked the utterly simplistic visual tension betwen them.

Nikon D2x ,Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S
1/180s f/5.6 at 17.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

nice catch - I like the trail in the sky and the dimension it adds.
