Exiting the pass from AZ the high elevation desert opens up. Further down the road Vegas emerges from desert.
Long highway with big vistas and blue skies. Las Vegas finally emerges off in the distance.

Yesterday’s drive in the Colorado/Sonoran desert. #BlueSkyArtShow #TheJourney #ThroughTheWindshield (It looked better with sunglasses 😎 on!)
The viewer is in a car driving up a 4 lane highway which gently curves up and to the left. Mountains and palm trees are seen in the distance. The colors have been muted which makes only the yellow highway striping stand out.

Sun rise on the Baja coastal range. Mountains have become more rugged.

Highway stretching off into the distance for as far as the eye can see. Barren landscapes on either side of the highway.

When I saw these I instantly thought of you and knew that you would appreciate these formations.
Cloud formations set against a light blue sky and the browns of a semi-arid landscape.
