Salvation in Death Valley, California

Description

An A-frame church rises unexpectedly from the barren floor of Death Valley, its angular form mirroring the surrounding mountain ridges as if attempting to blend into the desolate terrain. Set against a backdrop of sun-bleached slopes and open desert, the chapel feels both anchored and ephemeral – a manmade echo of the peaks beyond. This fine-art panoramic captures the quiet tension between architecture and wilderness, inviting reflection on solitude, purpose, and the search for sanctuary in inhospitable places.

Captured on a Hasselblad XPan using 35mm panoramic film, this image was drum-scanned to preserve the extraordinary detail and tonal range of the original negative. The result is a fine-art print that balances the precision of high-resolution scanning with the soft, romantic depth characteristic of analog photography.
