Badwater

I think I posted a black & white version of this photograph once before, although I have posted so many now it's hard to keep track. Anyway this was taken at Badwater Basin in Death Valley. This is the lowest point in North America at 282ft below sea level. I thought I would taste to water just to see what it tasted like, yeah that was a mistake, it was kind of yucky, salty actually. Things do actually live in this water though as you can see them swimming around.
