It's snowing now at this site at 9000 feet elevation, with the snow level down at 3700 feet. Then again, the temperature down in the Valley could get to 92, so maybe the dirt road to this site may be passable by then!

What 's mean!? …. Why dirty…?! What's wrong..??!!
The road is dirt +thanh thien thi nguyen, which means not paved. There is snow falling on that road now. I hope it will melt as the weather gets warmer next week.
Cool huts!! Can u keep a small wood fire going in one o rsmall stove?? Look at those stars__LOVE!!! 🙂
i like this
And this is where on the planet?
That's an interesting concept, but the park only allows fires in designated campgrounds +Shell Karecki.
OH, such a great place. I've only been there in the fall. The first time I ever saw zillions of ladybugs congregating.
(we also harvested a mason jar full of gigantic pine nuts that trip. They were falling out of the trees just uphill from the kilns. Sounded like rain or hail, there were so many pine nuts raining down. Squirrels couldn't keep up with the windfall.)
I wouldn't have thought of this place for ladybugs +Robyn Peters. I know they like the sequoia forests in the Sierra Nevada, at a much lower elevation.
It was early October. I thought the bushes in front of the kilns were blooming (or something). Turned out to just be ladybird beetles glomming onto every sheltered surface on the branches of the low scrub.
That's the strategy of the pinyon pines… produce massive quantities of pine nuts at once, so some will get past the rodents, birds and bears (and people). I collected 2 pounds under one tree in the Eastern Sierra.
+Tom Nathe These are charcoal kilns at an elevation of 9000 feet in the Panamint Mountains of Southern California. Directions will be in my landscape photography guide book coming out later this year: http://www.PhotoTripUSA.com
I may be taking some photographers up there next week (if the dirt road is passable in the snow), then again in December: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/death-valley-photography-workshop-2013/

;po…………ho……………..
I'm sure it would be interesting as well.
hermosa vista
Ok, so how do you keep the wild animals out?
Also called coke ovens. For making charcoal. Theres a set of these outside of Florence, Az but you must have a capable 4×4 to get there.
Boob hut basin
it's the cozy cone…
Very beautiful

Very nise
Im a poor man…..lol i love taking photos of the wild ''the great outdoors'' i dont got the money to travel quit yet in my life. So do this trip for me. It looks amazing. U ever need a tag a long im your guy
i love it
yes, lets!
Very cool. I camped up near there the first time I visited that park. Never thought to try to photograph the kilns at night!
I wouldn't go any place of no where
Fantastic!It's a dream:)
Wonderful shot in a really magical location. So, +Jeff Sullivan, I can tell that this is a time exposure, but did you go in and light paint the six interiors? While I'm on the light painting thing, if you were to revisit, you should also try to lightly paint them from behind by casting a faint line of light along the edge of them. That might get them to stand out against the background. Maybe as a 2nd frame to lightly mask in. Maybe… just thinking out loud.
BTW, nice use of this shot as your profile pic.
Oh my gOod i like this place
+Jeff Sullivan — have you been to Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park in Nevada?
Espectacular.
I haven't +Nevada Magazine, but I'd love to visit some day. There's so much to see and do in Nevada.
nice =)

I like everything beautifull and interesting.your pics are cool jeff
make sure you get a hut with a view lol 🙂
When, +Jeff Sullivan? I fly back in next Friday afternoon and have 48 hours to burn before H's birthday party and then flying back out again… I always thought that a single battery-operated tea light in each one might be an interesting amount of light in a night shot….

You wouldn't want to be here when we're crowding the place up +John H. Moore. This composition is barely possible with a 14mm or 16mm lens, and there's room for maybe 3 tripods before the ground falls off or the angle/composition changes too much. (We'll have at least 3X that number of people.)

What camera do you have?
a greats potos. 😉
Thank you +Rafael Quintana. When you cook a good meal, do people ask you what pan and stove you have?
What camera I use makes little or no difference in the result.
"You don't take a photograph, you make it." – Ansel Adams
There is no short cut to good photography (such as buying some ultimate camera), there is only technique, and practice.
Ahh… you doing a workshop? Have fun. Don't drop anyone off the edge! 😉
I hope the road to the kilns is open as I want to do some night photography there
I don't think it physically closes +Bill Wight, it'll come down to how much snow is on the road and how well your tires do in whatever snow is on the road. You'll want Winter clothing for a night visit. It could be beautiful up there with a little snow on the ground, and a crescent moon to light it up a bit.
hi how nice pictire
nice!
This http://stardate.org/mediacenter/March2013_CometPanstarrs could be an interesting thing to shoot this week. Just not sure how bright/visible it's going to be.
I've been watching the progress +Charles Leung. A few photographers caught it from the Southern Hemisphere. It should be visible from the Northern Hemisphere now, but people don't seem to be having much luck capturing it so far. I may go out and look for it tonight or tomorrow.
+Jeff Sullivan I went out looking for it tonight, but it's still very low on the horizon. So even on a good day, it would be tough to spot. It didn't help the horizon's completely fogged out tonight here in SF.
the mcdonald observatory in west texas just posted this: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151424740834123&set=a.10150094747724123.277561.16147034122&type=1&theater
