Hooray —- I had a full day off from work and there was no moon. \u00a0I \u00a0had a chance to head to the Death Valley region to photograph Comet Lovejoy from really dark skies while it was still bright. \u00a0The astro pics can be found in a separate entry.<\/a> \u00a0This post provides a look at some of the sights and scenery on the drive from about Mojave to Trona and the Panamint Valley on January 19th.<\/p>\n

Above is Mojave Airport, where many large and old jetliners go to age gracefully in the sun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The images above were from the Garlock\/Randsburg area, and the five below were in and around Trona.<\/p>\n

The shadows on the Slate Range, near sunset, were quite nice (below).<\/p>\n

And the Panamint Range was its usual gorgeous self as I descended into the Panamint Valley and the shadows grew long. \u00a0Telescope Peak caught the final sun rays of the day in the last image.<\/p>\n
