Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada – March 2023 – Part 18 – Sunset Shoot

This sunset photo shoot will be presented in multiple posts.

Looking Sunward

These rocks seem to be looking towards the late day sun.

Rock River

The rock texture here looks like a river or spring flowing from beneath that little arch.

Rock Spring

Rock seems to be flowing like a spring from beneath the rock above it.  There is even an eddy current or whirlpool near the left side of the rock spring.

Sand Generator

Rock makes sand, sand makes rock, cycle repeats.

Wonderful Geology

Interesting rock formations in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.  I can imagine those cross cutting, linear features as veins feeding into a strange creature’s brain.

Shadow Remains

Life is gone from this desert bush, but it still casts a shadow upon the rock beside  which it once thrived.

Serena Desert 3

Shadows lengthen as the peace of evening descends over Valley of Fire, Nevada.

Desert Serenity 4

A quiet, peaceful evening is fast approaching in Valley of Fire, Nevada.

Rock Fall

Rock texture mimics a waterfall.

Whirlpool

The rock fragments accumulated in the “whirlpool” like area of this rock feature look like debris swirling around at the base of a waterfall.

To be continued,

    1. Thanks, Denise. You really should plan a trip to Valley of Fire. I expect you can drive there within a few hours drive from your location. I agree that there are so many great scenic places in the western U.S. that one can spend a lifetime visiting those places and still not see everything. While I would like to visit international locations, the long travel times, hassle and expense of such travel is a deterrence. I let our passports expire a couple of years ago and I’ve not gotten around to renewing those.
