The moods of Zabriskie Point often go unnoticed, unobserved. But it possesses a quite, intimate presence not visible in the glare of the desert sun. It only appears briefly in that magic time when day transitions into night. Then the moods briefly reveal themselves before night’s dark realm covers the land and the world rests.
