2016: deep in my fave Joshua tree forest (a forest I’ve been visiting for a couple of decades now), somewhere in Death Valley National Park.
One of the few desert videos here that’s simply a celebration of the desert itself, in this case of a Joshua Tree (Yucca) forest in Death Valley National Park, a forest that’s a bit off the beaten track and that I try to visit every year. The video is made by the soundtrack, adapted from a piece by local musician (and friend) Roxann Spikula, who also drove my Subaru along the desert tracks here while I sat on top of it holding my iPhone taking the raw video footage with a little Ikan stabilizer (yes, it’s an iPhone video, and no, it wasn’t done with a drone).
Austere musical Greenland meets warm spiky desert visuals.
