Lake Mead National Recreation Monument.


    
             The landscape around Lake Mead is surreal in some spots. Since we still have doctors visits lined up to the middle of January, might as well make the best of it and look around.

  
     Gypsum Canyon is one my favorite canyons to photograph, within a short hike.


 From the photograph above you would think there might be an earthquake fault just 20 feet in front of me, but depending on whether it is morning, noon or sunset, the view constantly changes.


At times we have seen Bighorn Sheep in this wash, sadly not today.       

                                         
Some sunsets are beautiful,


some are dry and clear,



and this moonrise produced a huge moisture ring...and yes, it rained for two days starting that night.  (Jupiter is at 7:30)

Nice photos……you are getting to be a genuine Ansel Adams. Keep those up-dates coming.
