Dried mud patterns on the Panamint Lake Playa.
This is not normally the direction I point the camera… but sometimes there are interesting things to see right at your feet! I had stopped at a playa whose edge is right next to the main highway into Death Valley. I got our and wandered out on to the playa. (This might be the world’s easiest walking.)
This play a is typically dry, and after the rare storms that bring enough rain to create mud, the playa surface dries out and cracks into interesting patterns. As I wandered around this visual playground I spied this rather unusual patten in the surface of teh playa.
