Sunset In The Valley Of Fire

After spending the first evening of the recent Death Valley Workshop I attended photographing some remarkable architecture in Las Vegas (more of that in upcoming posts), our group made our way to Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada.  We spent almost two days photographing this surreal landscape, but I do believe one could easily have spent the whole week photographing here. 

One thing that was quite remarkable at this location was the color of the twilight sky. It was a deep blue hue that I have not often seen.  And the warm light at a low angle during sunset and sunrise seemed to make the landscape light up with a fiery orange color. Oh, maybe that's why they call it Valley of Fire!
