Valley of Fire - General 1

[guppiecat]

I have many small sets from the Valley of Fire in Nevada. The first one is here. The park itself is odd. You basically drive around, park at "trailheads" and walk for about a mile along incredibly easy trails. It's a good way to spend a day, but not exactly what I'd call a hike.

These are gorgeous.

They push you around in wheelchairs, it's a hike if you're walking in my book. ;-)

No. At the end of a good hike, your legs should be arching, you should be out of breath and be swearing to yourself that this is the last time you'll do something this stupid.

Anything less than that is just a walk in the woods. :)

I particularly like the 2nd one, that looks like a left hand, the thumb supporting the upper rock. (I guess I've been thinking about PT too much.)

If I get to it, tomorrow you get to see a face. :)

I love those! Those are like big rock toys.:)

A lot of your scenes (agave, cactus, cracked ground), I could shoot within walking distance of my house.

Lucky you. I only get to go there about once every couple of years.

Are you in Arizona, per chance?

Austin--we're in the middle of a terrible (nearly two years) drought. Austin is usually quite green because we have lots of creeks that feed into the Colorado River (which is dammed into three lakes), but the lack of rain is really taking a toll.

You cruel, cruel man.

(Beautiful photos of a beautiful place and why am I not there?)

[guppiecat]

Yeah, I know. While I prefer the Arizona desert, this desert was a definite plus over the white slushy stuff that I see around here right now.

I really like the composition of the hole in the rock with the smaller rocks in it... very pleasing to look at!

I love the color palette of these shots. Usually, the black-and-white photos are par for the course, but for these, the color is so much a part of the composition.

In short--awesome.
