Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada – March 2023 – Part 27 – Final Sunset Shoot (continued)

This is a continuation of an exploration and sunset shoot in Valley of Fire, Nevada in March of 2023.

The late day sun rays made this rock look like an ancient warriors golden helmet.

When I saw this vertical arch and the way it was attached between the rocks above and that beneath, I immediately thought of it as a blood sucking insect.  As I move around the rock that first impression was reinforced.

A few minutes later I found another rock that appeared to be another blood sucking creature.

It is not unusual to find rock faces with these little holes along rock interfaces that look like they were purposely designed as perforations at which to separate the rock layers.

I might have disturbed this rock creatures rest, as it appears to be opening one eye to see what has awakened it.

The golden hour is now in full force as the magic sunset hour begins to color the desert rocks golden yellow.

To be continued,
