More Valley of Fire Photos

Here are a few more pictures that I took in the Valley of Fire down in Nevada. The scenery is quite stark, but also quite gripping.

It's interesting how your gaze can be held by the intricacies of the rock formations- not really all that different from staring into a fire.

Walking around the park, it's almost like walking around in a city, with different neighborhoods marked by different kinds of buildings. Only in this case, it's the rocks and landscape that differ.

The shot above makes me think that Clyfford Styll might've taken some inspiration from this place.

I must say that nature is ever so much more beautiful and interesting than anything your Clyford Styll ever did....Mom

Most artists are inspired by the beauty of nature- many sadly fall far short (me included in that)
