Description
This winding road, Calico Basin Road, leads to the vicinity of Turtlehead Peak, in the outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada. After shooting a panoramic of the craggy mountains at Red Rock Canyon from a scenic overlook, I decided to head back to the hotel via Highway 159. Yearning for another beautiful image to take home for prosperity, I noticed this winding road and the vastness o the landscape. Remnants of a winter storm in the sky, cotton clouds against an almost black sky contrasts with the roughness of the desert mountains. Just a few minutes away from the Strip. I made this image in color as well...check out my portfolio "Desert, Canyons, and Arches."
