Death Valley National Park

My visit to Death Valley with my family was phenomenal! While I was photographing the Mesquite sand dunes before sunrise, my family was waiting for me to go to our next adventure. Even though we visited the park during Spring season, there were not many wild flowers this year. In Death Valley there’s lots of activities to do, and many places to see. Canyons, sand dunes, gosh towns, and vistas to The Valley just to mention some of them, keeps the visitor on their feet and active. Here are some of the images I took during our visit.

Lick Observatory University of California

Since 1888, Lick has provided UC astronomers with access to world-leading optical-infrared observing equipment.

Lick Observatory is owned and operated by the University of California. It is a major site in the University of California Observatories (UCO), which is responsible for its operations.

Lick began operations in 1888 as part of the University of California. It was founded by a bequest from James Lick, real-estate entrepreneur and California’s wealthiest citizen. Lick’s gift of $700,000 was the largest philanthropic gift in the history of science and would amount to $1.2 billion by today’s standards.
