Shield of the Desert
Description: In the cracked earth of Panamint Valley, this patch of desert wore its history like armour—layered, weathered, and full of stories it wasn’t quite ready to tell. What struck me most was how the fractured plates curved into the shape of a shield… or maybe a heart forged by sun and silence. It’s a reminder that even in the most desolate places, beauty finds a way to endure—line by line, break by break.
