Valley of Fire Sandstone

Colorful sandstone, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

Colorful sandstone, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

The area around the White Domes is amazing.  There is yellow and nearly white sandstone along with the red, and in areas where the colors mix, there are some wonderful combinations of color and patterns.  You never know what surprises may await around the next corner, over the next rise, or even in the little nooks and crannies.  I couldn’t believe how fast time flew by as Janine and I explored this area – I look forward to going back and wandering around even further.

Very interesting not just the color but the patterns. Reminds me of the places Guy Tal and Tony Kuyper shoot.

Great stuff Ron. When I flew into Vegas I could see amazing red cliffs to the NE and always wanted to get into that area. Now you are really making it a priority w your great shots of that amazing place.

Redoubt seems to be waiting your return to Alaska. I hope this time around it blows during a nice clear weather pattern instead of hiding in the clouds. When do you get back to AK?

Keep up the great work,

Calvin

Funny you should say that Richard, because I couldn’t help but think of Tony the master of sandstone, as I walked around the area.

Hey thanks a lot Calvin!

Yeah, you would really like this area! Great place for some of your 3d photography.

We head home in a little over a week – I think about March 6th if I’m not mistaken. Should be an awesome time to be back in Alaska.
