LOTS of ROCKS
Uploaded: September 29, 2010
Of ALL Sizes ,shapes & colors are a good part of The Valley of Fire Sp NE of Vegas. Even the blooming desert can not conceal the Harshness
of this terrain. This is a good example of the type of clouds I think add the most to desert shots. Just enough to add to the shot while not drawing attention from the main focus of the shot by overwhelming the sky.

Hi good neighbor, fantastic desert scene here Jack, and yes agree 100% with your beautiful sky! #1312642Michelle Alton September 29, 2010
And if the clouds were not there, I would find a "wind" to blow some into the frame. As thrilling as it is to stand among the blistering red rock against the deep blue sky, photos of it need some tempering. This is just right! #8936238Tammy M. Anderson September 29, 2010
