A photo story

The Fire Wave, Valley of Fire

The Fire Wave in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, in December 2023. The sandstone is swirled in red, pink, and cream bands, and the sky above it was a flat overcast gray. It was around 60, with almost no wind.

The Fire Wave is a sandstone formation in the park, known for these crossing color bands. I took this close in, with the rock filling most of the frame under that gray sky.
