The Racetrack, Death Valley National Park

Today's photo is from The Racetrack, a must-see for anyone visiting Death Valley National Park. Here these boulders move by themselves (a phenomenon caused by a combination of strong winds and ice and/or water on the playa) across the ancient dry lake bed, leaving little trails behind them. The lack of clouds made for a rather boring photograph from a color standpoint, but the graphical elements in the scene made for a very strong black and white image.
