The Desert

That way is the Mojave National Reserve.
Scene while we were driving south from Las Vegas.

Three good things:
1. Learning about the lives of Indians from the 1800's, so far back in time!
2. Arriving at our destination to find its 44 degreesC - that's 111deg F! I had to go for a swim!
3. Photo of our destination coming up.......

Lovely colors! They always like to say it's a "dry" heat. Ha, as if it matters when it's that hot!

@grammyn In that sort of heat, my heart goes a lot faster so its good to get into a cooler place!

[Maggiemae]

@seattlite You get a real sense of desert here - how people survive is just mind boggling!

[Maggiemae]

@mccarth1 It is a dry heat but somehow you still sweat in it. It would be murder if it were humid!

[Rosie Kerr]

Beautiful layers and tones. My sister lives in Phoenix... I wait until the cooler months to visit her. :) They say that a dry heat helps, but I'm not so sure.

[Daisy Miller]

Lovely landscape shot. Great layers. a fav

[Maggiemae]

@rosiekerr Phoenix must be like here - Texas is extreme! Another world!

[Margo Sayer]

I wonder if this is actually shimmering? Looks as if it might be. A mere 24C here today, warm, yet not too hot to be out and about.

[Maggiemae]

@s4sayer It was shimmering in the distance, Margo and around here there was a thunderstorm - rather mighty in these surroundings!

[Margo Sayer]

Yes, I understand. When storms happen in this kind of terrain, it feels like the end of civilisation as we know it. Wonderful!

[haskar]

great layers and colours

[Brandi]

Such a pretty landscape and a great image.

[Rick Schies]

Lovely processing and colors!
