You’ve seen photos like this recently, these are similar but looking in a different direction. The fault line is on the right. Charleston Blvd runs all the way from the east of Las Vegas to the west side of the valley, then continues west about eight miles then turns south toward the town of Blue Diamond, Nevada. A few short miles more, the road terminates at SR 160, or Blue Diamond road. Turn right, you’ll climb a few thousand feet into the Mountain Springs Pass. From there, you’ll head west then south toward Pahrump, Nevada.

They’re all great pics, but I sure do like the B/W one in this set.
Thanks so much, Anneli! The BW photo wasn’t giving me any love in processing, so I did the usual thing with it.
Turned out great, especially when I clicked to make the pics bigger.
I always enjoyed that view of Red Rock Canyon and the horizontal red stripe on the rock.
Hi Ingrid, thanks!! One of them is called Mt Wilson I think. It’s a fault line too. I’d like to see Las Vegas about ten years ago. I’ve been told that the growth has exploded. The houses are still being built at a fast pace. My real estate guy says the housing market here is still very strong. Maybe now’s a good time for me to sell, haha!
