This was my first visit to the Valley of Fire State Park. Incredible location!
I was in Vegas with the family and the sky was mostly clear. In the afternoon, clouds started forming, motivating me to drive to this location and take my changes for some dusk colors.
Taken with Sony A7R, Samyang 14mm, f/8, 1/3s.
Comments welcome!
All the best,

Yeah, VoF is one super cool place. It's pretty amazing just how magenta those rocks turn in low light. I like your capture with just enough clouds with color to balance with the ground.

Thanks Jim,
I got lucky my first and only day there turned out a nice sky. The colors of dusk are indeed unique when it hits the unusual rock formations.
Best,
Fred
You keep finding these great circular foregrounds (The Death Valley shot, the Zion with rock, and now this). I think I'll call you The Lord of the Rings

Great shot, Fred. Coincidentally, I was just there early in the month after a week in Death Valley. It is a special location, for sure.
Thanks Stan,
We were in Zion, Bryce, Valley of Fire (for only that sunset), Death Valley and then back to San Clemente beach. Wonderful 9-day trip.
