Just a goofy photo from yesterday, I’m in the exit lane for my exit. It’s a long way down to the valley floor!
Geology
Mojave Desert
My Mojave Desert life. At times I have wondered if I made the right choice to stay here in Las Vegas but then something will come along during the day that is an affirmation that I am where I should… Read More ›
From Brown to Red to Blue
Such a sharp colour contrast in this image using the 35mm lens yesterday. A part of Calico Basin.
Road Repairs
It took a good while but the Nevada DOT or NDOT to get to it, they are finally filling in the areas where the washes were washed out by the fairly recent heavy rains. They bring in plenty of fill… Read More ›
Preparing for The Hike
This is the parking area at Calico Basin for hikers. A very popular place, always busy but more so during the cooler months of the year as hiking the canyons in 110 degree heat just isn’t smart!
City and Desert
A few photos from this beautiful morning!
Old Drone Photos
Two drone photos from roughly 400 foot taken in 2018 just outside of Las Vegas. I don’t drone these days…
When Washes Wash Out
Taken in Lovell Canyon last year, this is a great example of the aftermath of heavy rains in the mountains. The Clark County Road Commission will eventually come through here with the proper heavy equipment to remove the tons of… Read More ›
Digging Out the Oldies
Since I’m stuck at home (tough deal right?) waiting for the appliance repair guy, why not dig out some oldies? I use two forms of photo and video backup: Dropbox which is awesome and ten times better than that damned… Read More ›
The Unseen Canyon
Here’s an older photo of mine looking northeast toward Red Rock Canyon proper. You can’t see it unless you pay your bit to get inside the BLM fee area. Red Rock Canyon is gorgeous, do take the time to visit… Read More ›
The Valley’s Edge
I was on the edge today haha… 😂
Looking Down
While gradual, some roads on the west side are rather steep. This one isn’t too steep but zooming way in with the 70-300mm lens will give you an idea of the angle and distances. Mountains are awesome!
The End
Another set from today, there is a large subdivision to my left, the developers are hard at it making sure more desert is paved over with homes and roads… it’s called Urban Sprawl….
A Sunday Drive
I had to get outta the house for a couple hours today, it’s so beautiful today so I took a ride to some areas in the northwest area of the valley that I’ve not been in before. It’s still amazing… Read More ›
The Snow Behind the Mandalay Bay
Today I left the house a bit early with the intention of getting some aircraft photos which I haven’t done in a long while. Instead of taking the two fifteen freeway around the valley, I chose the ninety five south… Read More ›
Walking is Great Exercise
A photo from today. I was hoping to find horses at the Equine Park, all I found were people.
Tiny Little People
From this morning, I spied miniature humans descending Lone Mountain!
So Good it’s Gone
Adios, snow and (colder) weather. Don’t hurry back!
Drone View
Here are a couple old photos from the drone I sold last year. It took decent photos aye?
Looking North and West
The photo with the road is looking north, the other is west toward what I sometimes refer to as the ‘foothills’ as the real mountains are hidden behind these small guys, several miles away to the west.
