Image 1: BLUE POINT BAY
This image was taken above Blue Point Bay on Lake Mead, Nevada. A powerful rain storm had just passed over and the earth was still soaked. The sun was coming back out and these vibrant, rich colors are from the water soaked natural minerals reacting to the bright sunlight. The green areas along the edge are the shallow water of the lake. I am about 2,000 feet above the lake shooting straight down from the airplane.

Image 2: SP VOLCANO
This is a volcano just north of Flagstaff, Arizona simply known as "SP Volcano". I have searched high and low and cannot find any history on how it got this name. Certainly the Navajo First Nations called it something but I couldn't find mention of it anywhere. I love that this is a perfect representation of time-stood-still. You can see the how lava flowed down from the volcano, spilling out across the desert, coming to a standstill where it froze in time.

Image 3: CASTLE PEAKS
This is Castle Peaks on the New York Mountains in the Mojave Desert. When you are driving from Los Angeles on highway 15 to Las Vegas, you can see these peaks in the distance across the valley as you come down the last hill towards Primm, Nevada. I took this picture from about 1,000 feet above the ground and what struck me about the formation was the small replica formation that sits just below Castle Peak, mirroring it. It is like a miniature formation of the larger peaks! Very strange.

Ok Thanks and hope you enjoy the images. If you have not seen my original post explaining what I do please follow the link at the top and come on by!
