Cracked salt flats symbolizing fears, distant mountains as hopes beneath dramatic clouds. A Philip Richard Photograph

Valley of fears and hopes

It's an inhospitable land called the valley of death; here we reach the worst with the "devil's highway", in the distance it's the promised land, but how many will survive this last hurdle?
Salt flats fracture beneath your feet—each crack a quiet fear. Beyond, distant mountains rise, luminous with hope. Between them, the sky holds the hush of longing and the promise of ascent.
