Death Valley 2013 - Day 3 - Charcoal Kilns, Mesquite Dunes
Our main destinations on day 3 of our trip to Death Valley started with a visit to the charcoal kilns at Wildrose Canyon (these 25-foot-high kilns were used to make charcoal back in the 1800s), followed by a trip to the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes near Stove Pipe Wells for an end-of-day shoot with the late sunlight across the textured sand.
The night skies are fantastic in the desert, so I took several night shots under the moonlight that evening back at our campground.

Two of the charcoal kilns. Light coming through one of the vents on the back wall can be seen through the door of the left kiln. Each beehive-shaped kiln is about 25 feet high. (3/19/2013, Charcoal Kilns, Wildrose Canyon, Death Valley NP)
