Sunlight and stonework

Furnace Creek Inn is the Ahwahnee of Death Valley. The buildings are built on four levels or terraces, and in the front is a water garden fed by the Travertine Spring just to the east.

This back alley is the path to the garden from the front parking lot. I’ve always held a soft spot for the geometrical forms of buildings, and the sunlight bouncing from the soft yellow walls to the stone retaining wall caught my eye.
