Abstract Painting


When you stand on a point of 5476fts height (Dante's View) and look down at the North America's lowest point of 286fts below see level (Badwater Basin), you will be amaze with the majestic of our mother nature. To the West-Northwest from the Dante's view, Death Valley National Park, you will find the abstract painting-like landscape of Badwater Basin. The current view is formed by periodical flooding and evaporation, which lead to the redeposition of salt over the years and thus appear as the irregular pattern of salt crystals. 

BTW, Dante's View is a filming location in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The scene is where Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2 and C-3PO approach a city in Mos Eisley and stop to watch the city from a view point, which is the Dante's View (Source: Wikipedia - Dante's View).
