The waxing crescent moon was working its way to moonset over Death Valley National Park (USA) on July 12, 2021 Monday night.
The sun had already set as I watched from Dante's View, 5,400+ feet above the valley below. Wind blown Saharan dust filled the valley, muting the view into the valley and Badwater Basin Salt Flats, sitting at 282 feet below sea level (lowest point in North America) and directly below me.
This shot is proof that you should never ever leave a sunset until all the color has truly left the scene. The sun was a muted orange as it dipped below the mountains in the west. The Saharan dust had dimmed the scene quite a bit as it moved southward across the valley. You could actually see the leading edge of the dust, prior to sunset, as it drifted past me from this 5,000+ foot viewpoint.
