Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada – March 2023 – Part 19 – Sunset Shoot

This is a continuation of a multiple part sunset shoot in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

Serene Desert 5
Serene Desert 6
Desert Surf

The rock features here remind me of ocean waves and ripples on a shoreline.

Stage Light

A desert shrub stands as if on a stage in a spotlight as the late day desert light show begins.

Life on the Rocks

In a harsh, rocky, dry desert environment life finds a way to survive.

Life on the Rocks 2
Rock Huggers

Desert vegetation staying close to the rocks.  Is it because that is where the sand is deepest, where more water is available from run off from the rocks or is there more protection from the elements there?  I suspect all of those are factors in desert life survival.

Serene Desert 7
Serene Desert 8

 

Fin Rocks

These vertical rock protrusions remind me of fish fins.

This is a good place to end this post, but more of this sunset shoot to follow.

Until next time,
