Antelope Valley

California’s Mojave Desert will forever be remembered by anyone visiting The Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. For centuries, endless poppy fields grow here, striking the imagination with a riot of colors.

Since 1971, the Antelope Valley has been a national reserve created to preserve the unique species of poppy. Collecting flowers is strictly forbidden, as well as running in meadows. For visitors, there are many special tourist paths leading through all the hills.

Photographing in the Antelope Valley is not easy. In the valley and then fall powerful gusts of wind that try to knock you down. In addition, under the influence of the wind, flower carpets turn into a real restless ocean, which is wobbled by colorful poppy waves.
