Red Rock Canyon is located about 30 minutes West of the Las Vegas Strip ... 

My local Camera Club believes that any photo taken outdoors between roughly 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM is not worth taking because of the quality of light ... and they judge images based on that ... 

So I ventured out to Red Rock Canyon last week at 5:30 AM ... All of the attached images were taken prior to 8:00 AM ... I will let you be the "judge" as to how they look!! ...

Your comments, suggestions and ... yes criticism ... are very much appreciated!!  ... 

Thank you for looking!!

Red Rock Canyon 

This last Saturday Darrylwg and I visited Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area … just a short drive west of Las Vegas.

The fence in the foreground is needed to keep the wild horses and burros off the road … Mountain_1

This is one reason why it’s called Red Rock Canyon … Red_Rock_1

Wind beaten tree with Las Vegas in the background … Red_Rock_3

More Red Rock … Red_Rock_4

Not all the rock is red … Red_Rock_2

This Stage Coach was at the entrance to Bonnie Springs just a few miles south of Red Rock Canyon … Stage_Coach

There is more to Las Vegas then Hotels & Casinos … enjoy!
