sunset

[highdesertranger]

what a awesome sunset today.  the sun reflecting off the clouds was almost unbelievable.  the colors were not only where the sun was going down but everywhere north, south,  east, and west all showed color.  we are up by Lake Mead prospecting.  Tim,  Clint and Darlene,  Cindy,  Alex, Cammalu, John and me are all here,  we expect  a few more in the next couple of days.  a mini prospecting caravan.  anyhoo here's a couple of pics,

all pictures courtesy of Darlene Hansen,


Timmy admiring the colors







besides the great colors we are getting sporadic rain and wind.  nothing bad, it's great to be boondocking in the middle of nowhere.
once again thank you Darlene Hansen for the great pics.  be sure to catch her youtube channel she will have vids in the future of this trip,  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD-zbU2w8y6sp9s54d-Y_ew

"How is the prospecting this year ?"

yesterday was our first day, we ran about 1/2 a day. 4 of us ran the Drywasher the rest went sampling for new places to dig. first clean up we got a few pickers, we haven't run the fines yet we will do that today when we have more. Darlene did a lot of filming for a vid.

Wow this looks so fun. And beautiful pictures HDR! Maybe someday I'll be able to join you guys.

Awesome pics HDR. I've lived in NM and AZ for the last 17 years and am still mesmerized by the sunsets almost every night. Sometimes the sunrises are spectacular as well.

I will never move away from the enchanting beauty of the desert and the mountains...

The only close to such a sunset......is a sunrise! Both times are "God moments" when everything seems so quiet and peaceful. I am a morning guy and love watching the sun come up as the world awakens. Enjoy your sunsets.

Kinda looks patriotic. I just see snow here. Haha!

 

[B and C]

I watch both sunrises and sunsets. Sunsets in the desert are almost always way more spectacular than the sunrises.

We get some colorful sunsets here too!

This was a few days ago, on the west edge of my lot, near the Yuccas:

Darlene takes amazing photos.  Timmy was an excellent subject to photograph.  Even with the high winds, another beautiful sunset is taking shape. The other amazing aspect of this place is the quietness, well when the wind isn't blowing. It is an unbelievable stillness.  Friday morning the winds are to calm a bit only to ramp up again Sunday about 9 a.m.
