But the more time spent, the more I notice, and  upon closer inspection, that the desert is a complex, beautiful,  timeless, spiritual place.<br \/>\nFor the images in this book, I\u2019ve taken source material directly from  the desert; from the stones underfoot at Death Valley Canyon, to the  salt crystals at Badwater Basin, the colored rocks of Artist\u2019s Palette,  to the brush on the edges of the road at Stovepipe Wells.<br \/>\nIn the images themselves, you may see remnants of the undulating  Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, the craggy peaks of the Panamint Range, or the  shadows of Zabriskie Point, but most of all, I hope that you\u2019ll also be  able to see and feel the spirit of the desert come alive in these  images.<br \/>\nKathy Beal<br \/>\n2010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Desert Inspirations: Journeys Without and Within The Desert at Death Valley For me, the desert has always been sacred.
