A windy place in the desert - a photo on Flickriver

Thank you for visiting - ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.

We went to the Death Valley in California with the goal to experience the sailing stones on the Racetrack Playa at new moon. Before dark we scouted interesting stones on the playa and marked their GPS location. Walking back I discovered this phenomenon on the playa. Wind ripped out tiles of dried playa. Interestingly, it was just at this one place, with tiles ripped out in an elliptic line.

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.
