Look far away in the distance, a mountain range blocks your path.
Mountains
In The Summer, In The City
Las Vegas Valley is just starting to warm up toward our summer temperatures as the forecast calls for temps rising into eighties the next several days and pushing ninety degrees and it’s right on time. It’s been summer weather here… Read More ›
Exiting Downward
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!
The Valley of Palms
Driving around Las Vegas you will see jillions of beautiful palm trees in several varieties and in various states of growth. Some are not well maintained or not maintained at all in some areas which is a crime in my… Read More ›
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.
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!
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 ›
Bonnie Springs is Dead
Bonnie Springs was recently sold to the damned developers. Apparently Bonnie Springs was not doing well financially which I don’t find surprising when you have a good look at the place. It just grind my gears that homes will be… 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 ›
Eastbound Lone Mountain Road
Here’s another photo from this morning looking all the way across the valley. North Las Vegas and Nellis Air Force Base are over there but of course we can’t see them fifteen or more miles away! Nikon/70-30mm lens.
The Black and White City
Three more photos from today. Love my adopted city and state!
A Puff of Smoke
I snapped this photo today only because of the puff of black smoke. I wonder what happened down there?
