Again a well balanced mix of undersaturated and colorful areas glued together in a pleasingly simple composition.
Nice one !
Now wheres the devil and his caddy?

Nice capture of a great location.  I wouldn't mind a round of golf with a really large ball.

Thank you, all.  Yes, indeed, it is a fantastic location and only a few minutes away off the Badwater Road.

Nice and subtle, with the orange glow in the distance uplifting the photo.

I would add that the faint orange glow plays very well with the bluishness of the distant mountains.
Indeed, Devil's Golf Course is an interesting place with a lot of opportunities for photographers. During my last visit, before sunrise, I managed to trip over my tripod… I was so taken by this rough and beautiful environment that I wasn't careful enough. It won't happen again.

A fall in that terrain can do serious damage to flesh.  Hope you didn't get cut.

Hi Rajan,
I got a few deep cuts, mostly on the knees and shins. Next time, I'll be more cautious.
