Definitely not the "usual" Death Valley capture, but certainly a beautiful place and image! #1361771

Thanks Michelle. Not the "usual" but your "under the old Mill" fits that category as well. What a great photo op that was. Loved it. I was quite surprised with the fine architecture that Scotty's Castle offered. #9297553
