The peaks in this photograph are inside of the boundaries of Demise Valley National Park, but I was a superior distance outside the park when I built the photograph. I had absent to the Trona Pinnacles, outside the distinctly extractive mining city of Trona to photograph. But the visible action wasn’t that at the pinnacles that morning — it was much to the north over these snow-capped desert mountains, where lenticular clouds caught the vibrant dawn gentle.
The town of Trona is like lots of desert cities in Southern California and the Southwest. It has the air of a put whose very best times are distinctly guiding it. The economic climate is created all around extractive industries, specifically mining the mineral deposits of the Searles Valley playa. People today nonetheless stay and work below, but a drive past the town reveals several deserted homes and firms, still left to decay in the desert solar and wind.
