Description

D90 Tamron 18-270@18mm
This is the View from the Loop Drive in Red Rock Canyon Nev.. Just 15 minutes from Las Vegas.....
The Pink Valley floor is caused by all the small blooming flowers numbering in the ZILLIONS all over the valley. There is still PLENTY of snow around the mountain peaks as you can see. And just about every plant in sight is green and flowering or about too. This place was just as beautiful as I remembered it being 14 years ago.
Had a GREAT TRIP !!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack,
I was there just 4 years ago...in this precise spot, and made several shots there. None of mine came even remotely close to this outstanding portrayal. You've done almost as much justice as its creator! #8565906

Ladies
Thanks for the VERY NICE COMMENTS....

Last time I went this was ALL BROWN except for the Rock & Sky. It was amazing to see up close....

Happy Shooting
