Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley, CA. don’t claim to be much good at photography, but it’s one of my more diverting hobbies. Last month whilst in Death Valley on holiday, I crawled out of bed well before dawn in order to catch sunrise at the Mesquite Dunes. was not alone. In fact, there were so many other photographers there, that it was a challenge to frame any shot without one in it.
