Desert Structure 15 – The Funnel

The Funnel is my name for this location.  The rock texture just seems to “funnel” one into the scene.

Desert Topping

Light tops off the distant rocks like a sweet, golden frosting on a multilayered cake, with a dollop of whipped cream on the edge.

Desert Topping 2

Everything in this image is in the previous one, but less.  I moved in to reduce the scope of the image, then cropped in more in post processing to make the sky more prominent and emphasize the large rock feature at the bottom right, which was in the bottom left of the previous image.  I think this makes the scene more dramatic, but that is in the eye of the beholder.

Flow and Glow

Evening sky flows and glows over Valley of Fire, Nevada, highlighting some features and casting others into deepening shadows.

This wraps up this sunset shoot, but there will be another.
