Todays shot is from the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. This park is so close to Las Vegas, only an hour away, that I thought there will be a huge number of people visiting. But we found a very few people in the park, in fact, most of the parking lots were empty. I am not sure if its the norm or just the case during winter. To me, winter is the best time to visit this park due to the exposure and possibility of flash floods in many of the hiking trails.
This amazing geological formation is at fire wave trail. It’s a highlight of the valley of Fire state park due to its resemblance to the stunning wave rock formation in Arizona. The trail basically reaches an area where suddenly fine dust gives way to beautiful slick rock with amazing patterns in colors of red, pink, white, and every other pastel shade imaginable. One of my favorite time to take photos is just before sunrise as the light is very even and the sky is usually not very overpowering. This shot was framed placing my tripod almost flat on the ground and pointing straight at the main wave formations. I don’t think I used any kind of filters for this image.
