Valley of Fire State Park, south of Overton, Nevada, and north of Las Vegas, is a real gem for photography. It rivals, if not surpasses the famous Coyote Buttes that people come from all around the world to see and photograph. These images are from along the park road that runs north from the visitor center about 6 miles. There are five washes that you pass through along that drive. They are numbered 1 through 5. For those interested in where such images were taken, each image gives the wash in which you park (on the cement slabs) and the direction you head, and which way I was looking when the image was taken, as well as the time of day. CAUTION: This landscape is extremely fragile, especially the "fins" of sandstone that make this place so unique and special. PLEASE be careful, and choose your steps carefully. lest you become a proverbial "bull in a china shop". This is definitely a china shop if there ever was one. If you hear crunching with your step, you're doing something wrong. There's also plenty of crypto-biotic (living organisms) soil that needs to be protected. Stay on rock, in runoff "ruts" or washes whenever possible. Remember the old saying: take nothing but pictures, and leave nothing but footprints. And be very careful where you leave those. I believe people should have the chance to experience as much of nature's wonders as possible in their short time on Earth, but I don't want my images to be the reason people start loving this place to death.
