In the stark desert landscape,
The Inn at Death Valley
is an oasis
transforming the desert
into a tropical paradise
bursting with life.
Cheers to you from The Oasis at Death Valley~
Note: The Oasis Inn at Death Valley was built in 1927.

Happy New Year Cindy! 😀 May it be as vibrant and vivid as the sumptuous vistas viewed through the lens of your artful camera. The colours, the forms, the clarity, and the quality of light captured at the Inn are superb. (And not one Coyote – from your previous post, who I called Slim – in sight.)
I have been trying to determine the time of day when these photographs were taken and would hazard a guess at late afternoon?
Enjoy a wonderful week. Take care of one and all.

Well of course you are right, as usual Dewin, I tend to sleep late, basically, always, so no sunrise fotos for me. I leave that to the talented folk who like to wake up early. I love their sunrise light photos, ethereal. It’s just I am not motivated to wake up, cuz sleep is pretty great too.
Happiest and Healthiest New Year are my wishes for you. Be well my friend.
So awesomely breathtaking!
Happy New Year to you and yours…
Happiest Everything to you in the New Year and thank you.
Great pics Cindy. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year to you !

This is a beautiful place to be! Glad you were able to enjoy and take some lovely photos. Hope you had a wonderful holiday and have an amazing new year.
Wishing you all things wonderful in 2020 and thank you for such a thoughtful comment.
Happy New Year Cindy!! Nice pictures, I’m gonna do some research on this one as I’d love to know how this paradise was built in a desert.
There is a natural spring here that motivated the building of the Inn in this spot almost a hundred years ago called Furnace Creek. Check out this from wiki, “Springs in the Amargosa Range created a natural oasis at Furnace Creek, which has subsequently dwindled due to diversion of this water to support the village.[4] The village means the inhabited areas of Death Valley National Park.
Oh cool. Thank you for the recommendation.
<3 <3
So beautiful and peaceful, Cindy!
It is especially such at night. Magical, with the fairy lights and the dark desert all around you.
I know things have changed a lot since I last stayed at Furnace Creek… didn’t occur to me there was a natural spring there…. the clue should have been in the name! Lovely photos!
Furnace Creek is the greatest name, perfect for a postcard, “Furnace Creek at Death Valley. Wish you were here!”
This looks like the Oasis, Florida, in my book.
It does doesn’t it!
Absolutely breathtaking. What a magical place. One could live a happy life in that dreamy oasis. I’m looking forward to a year of your beautiful photography and blog posts. Happy New Year!
Thank you, and I look forward to sharing another year with you my friend. All the best to you in the New Year <3
Love the reflections in the water! ❤️
Happy New Year!

Happiest New Year to you Carmen and happy you enjoyed <3
echt toll, liebe Cindy, nimm meine besten Grüße entgegen und möge dein Wochenende sehr schön werden, Klaus
Vielen Dank mein Freund und ich hoffe, Sie haben ein erholsames Wochenende. <3
Very beautiful photos, Cindy.
Have a happy 2020!
Hoping 2020 is kind to you my friend & thank you.
Truly looks like an oasis, and so serene. Though I must say I love that purple mountainscape and its wildness.
Yes, I agree with you. The savage beauty of the wilderness always bests the best that humans can create.
Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones, Cindy! Wishing you all the best. Cheers!
I look forward to hanging out with you virtually in 2020 Halim. Only the best for your my friend in this new decade.

Meanwhile, here in Charlotte, it’s cold, wet, and gloomy. Those images look mighty nice!
I hope they warmed you vicariously. It is actually cold here at The Holler too, but I am watching this amazing documentary entitled, “Figuring Out The Hey Duke Trail,” about this person who hikes 869 miles solo through 8 national parks starting in Arches and ending up in Colorado City. He is ascending and descending Grand Canyon three times. It makes me grateful for the fire and the cold. Be well Mike.
Indeed, this is an oasis in the desert. The pictures are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings of The New Year to you Beverly <3
Happy New Year, Cindy! What great images. I am just looking for the next airport. Lol Hope you had beautiful days, and enjoyed it. Michael
Happy New Year Michael! I hope your year is full of peace and laughter.

Happiest & Healthiest New Year to you cuz <3

Grazie mille~
Wow, that first picture could easily pass for an alien landscape.
Another wonderful set of pictures <3
Yes, the desert does seem like another planet & thank you Deborah.
😀
1927 and wow! Amazing captures. 🙂
Thanks so much & cheers to you!
fabulous!
Merci beaucoup <3
Beautiful! But the drive down . . .
Yes. I hear you. It would have to be in combination with other places so you got a really excellent experience for your effort.
Before my dad was married and while dating mother, he made a trip to Oregon thru California to visit his brother. He said the desert was absent of necessary gas stations etc. He enjoyed his trip with the scenes of California.
My family, and my husband’s, have traveled through the California deserts in the early days too. And even I remember it as a child when cars had no air conditioning and we traveled through it in the summer. It makes a lasting impression.
