Antelope Valley, California, USA

Each spring, Nature puts on a really dazzling showcase in the core of Gazelle Valley, California. Arranged on the western tip of the Mojave Desert, these moving slopes show some signs of life for only a couple of months, getting guests vivid greenery that turns the fields here purple and gold. Suggestive of a Claude Monet painting, the valley becomes inundated with local California poppies, elegant phacelias and fragile fiddlenecks.
