Wetlands, the remnants of an ancient sea, can still be seen at Tecopa Hot Springs, just outside of Death Valley National Park. I used a camera with a 28mm wideangle lens to stretch the image in order to include both the cloud filled sky and its reflection in the waters below. The clouds are really the subject here – without them, this would be a descriptive, rather than an expressive, image. They link the sky above to the ground below, making them one and the same.
