The Racetrack

The extensive reflections from the lake on the Racetrack Playa are delightful to scrutinize, seemingly as detailed as a mirror. Very nice. The Grandstand is tiny far out into the water. The distant mountains from the left to right are the Last Chance Range, the Cottonwood Mountains, and the Dutton Range. I had my 4×5 K. B. Canham set up on a sturdy titanium tripod to do the photography in the early Winter morning; however, the problem was that there were thin ice sheets floating on the playa, and the effect of these was to obscure the reflections undesirably. So I hiked the half mile (0.8 km) back to my vehicle, preparing breakfast as the rising morning Winter Sun—maybe—might melt those thin sheets of ice. Upon my return, I discovered it happened precisely as I had hoped! Very cool. Happenings at the Racetrack are very important to my book, as one learns reading Chapter Six.
