There are no shelters from the sunlight on the trail at Zabriskie Point.
Zabriskie Point Desert Elements: Sand, Mountain, Sun
At the instance of our visit, I wanted very much to photograph that dramatic mineralized area of earth. Yes, the one in the middle with the brown cap. You are correct that I reckoned with the sun. After accepting that the sun was a key element in the desert landscape, it became a question of composition. Here, the sunflare portrays the brutal, unwielding presence. Although it protests for not leading the scene, the sun plays a great supporting role.

Beautifully taken! Very eerie in a way. Definitely fits in with the name, though I wonder what life lives when night falls, and beneath the surface.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful comment. In this part of the park: snakes, lizards, ants, raven and roadrunners (birds) are most likely to be seen. However, the NPS lists potentially dangerous animals: rattlesnakes, scorpions, black widow spiders, bees, wasps, coyotes, and mountain lions. Visitors are advised to always look first before placing hands or feet anywhere!

Ouch! A bit eerie as a warning perhaps.. Best wear gloves and some sturdy walking boots when out on adventures!
