Finally a sunset
Finally a sunset
I have waited months to see a great sunset again. We had some beautiful sunsets in Wyoming over the summer and I have missed that these past couple of months. Finally, I got to see a nice sunset last night.
We stayed last night just outside of Lake Las Vegas. This is the same small campground we stayed in last May when we came for blogpaws. Al hates driving through Las Vegas, especially pulling the trailer. The freeways are packed and full of idiots. So going the back way, and avoiding all that is much nicer.
Plus we got to go for a nice walk when we got here. Then I had the chance to see and photograph a fairly nice sunset.
It started out like this.
Then became more colorful as the sun dropped further.
Looking behind me to the East, the hills where a fabulous pink color.
As was the river below me.
{{{{Sigh}}}} So nice to be in the desert again. I love the desert as much as I love the high mountains. I could never ever pick a favorite place.
Also today, I am participating in a photo challenge from Eclectic odds and sods. Justine is giving a prompt, something to photograph in a certain theme and you guys get to guess what it is. This weeks theme is wrinkles. Do you know what the photo below is? Give a guess in your comment below. I will update this post on the 13th with the answer.
And the answer to the mystery photo is,,,,,a rock. That was pretty easy right?
I am linking this post to Eclectic Corner
And Our World Tuesday
Oh crickey you have gone to town there, I cannot work out even if this is soft or hard lol. What a fantastic entry it could be so many things now this post will send me slowly crazy haha. Hrrrm I supose I should try and guess…goes back to look at it xx Ps thank you soooo much for entering, really appreciate it x
Thanks Justine for doing the challenge, it is fun and interesting.
OK I am slightly cheating perhaps an dlooking at the photographs above, it looks similar to the rocks? Or is that just too easy a guess? lol…ps please pop by to put your URL in to the Inlinkz on my original post, this way others get to see your entry on the page also, more views and more banter ;-) xx Give me a shout if you cant find the link xx
I think its a stone of some sort – but I don’t think thats going to cut it!
Great sunsets.

Gorgeous colors and sunset, lovely images.. Enjoy your day!
There is something so soothing about seeing this, isn’t there?
Growing up on the California coast, I would see the sunset over the ocean. Then when we moved to the north shore of Boston, I will never forget the frosty morning we went out on the beach to a gazebo at one of the parks. We waited for the sun to RISE over the ocean and the rush of feeling so part of this earth opened my eyes. A new beginning, a new day, from a different perspective on the map.
Have a lovely day, Mary! Anita
I lived in California and loved the ocean sunsets. I can only imagine seeing it rise over the ocean. What a different perspective that would be.
Well worth travelling the scenic route we say. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
What gorgeous sunset photos!! I have not been to Vegas for several years now…I feel an urge to go now! I agree with Al though…I would NOT want to drive through there…especially with the RV!!
Great pix for “your” world …:)JP
looks like sheep wool close up. The sunset is beautiful and filled with color. I wonder what it looks like from space.
That pink sunset one with the mountain background is absolutely spectacular. It could win awards.
Thanks tons. I love the colors at sunset, to the west or the east.
it looks like magic… and once I hope I can see your wonderful country with my own eyes . But it’s great to see it through your camera too :o)
I’m so glad I can take you along for the ride in this beautiful country.
beautiful skies! i’m going for close-up of a sheepskin dog bed. :)
These are such gorgeous photos! I can understand why you can’t pick a favorite place, each has its own beauty and specialness to offer. These pictures illustrate where the “purple mountains majesty” reference comes from in “America the Beautiful”!
A gorgeous sunset too!
gorgeous!
Finally a spectacular one!
OOH! AAH! Those photos are beautiful! Is the photo at the end of… salt?
this might be tree bark close up. :-) enjoy traveling along with you even if I am over a thousand miles away…
So beautiful! It is so brown everywhere there its nice that the sky can give you some color! We are wondering if Lake Meade is any higher after all the storms they had this summer. Love Dolly
It looks as though you photographed a desert crystal. I, too, love seeing the desert landscapes, though I live in the mountains.
Beautiful sunset! Those canyon photos bring back the nightmarish drive to BlogPaws, though. We have no desire to drive through there again! Stay safe.
Beautiul skies … and I love the desert, too. Great photos!
I just love the photos Mary, I wish I had the eye (and scenery) that you do.
As for the wrinkles, I think it’s some kind of desert rock.
What a gorgeous place and a beautiful sunset!
That looks like some kind of rock? You probably needed something more specific than that though. :)
How beautiful!
Great shots – such vivid colors!
Please come share…
Incredible! I haven’t seen a great sunset in quite a while…and that’s unusual for central Ontario, The weather has been crazy!
That is really fire in the sky

Beautiful sunset pics! I have no idea what that is… some sort of rock I’m guessing, but I got nuthin’ more than that!
Both you and I got spectacular sunsets last night! Whew, yours was gorgeous! I feel the same as you. I love both the alpine and the desert. So different but both so beautiful.
I love the way you captured the changing sunsets. Just beautiful.
The other images looks to me like a crust of salt. I can’t wait to read what it is.
That’s a gorgeous sunset. Beautifully captured.
now did we find out what it is yet? Grins..really looking forward to the grand reveal tomorrow heeh x
