The sun moving lower, less than an hour before nightfall. Welcome to paradise. It's closer to evening but for one position. We find a new position, it's on the Arizona side of the lake, facing Nevada. Our 'little fascination of perspective': Note the metal bridge jutting over the water, as shown in the previous blog, can be seen on the other side of the lake in Nevada. Binoculars are advised. (High winds affected the coloring on that day).   Jen loved the blue scene  above  (midnight-blue, she refers to it) but also liked the hues of the lower picture, hence we included both. Some of life's issues are solved easily enough. This scene, Fortification Hill (hill? Try climbing it) is east of the lake. Pictures of this favorite from different positions are all over the blog...love it.   We find ourselves on a repeat visit to Boulder City. In fact, Jen sometimes says that we often lose ourselves in this location. The town sits on the border of ...

Looking somewhat toward the right, north-east. Looking toward the left, west.     We’ve become keen on mixing photographs taken in compact locations which provide perspective of the region. Simply put, we may stand on a mountain overlooking a lake while we face say, east. Thereafter, we might find another interesting position and focus on the previous mountain peak climbed, thus providing, as we mentioned, perspective. At times, such as in one of the examples of this blog, I struggled to identify a famous bridge because it appeared different when viewed from various positions.    While some may question the relevancy, we find it fascinating, sometimes amusing and in plain English, ‘bloody’ nice. Within this blog, we illustrate the concept using the “Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge” as well differing positions around Lake Mead.   Water, water everywhere and all available to drink. Jen returning from the peak...no trail to ...

An awful lot to make one smile. Through the gap is the Charleston Range.   Over the years we’ve come to identify 4 states that portray tremendous beauty, for us. Perhaps it’s because they comprise desert regions. Not that the forty-six others are any lesser in beauty (crossed fingers behind our backs). Even Florida has the occasional hill or there’s talk it might soon be discovered. Anyway, we call these beauties the ‘UCAN’ states. Should you not like this identification feel free to change the mnemonics to ‘CANU’. If nothing else, we are flexible. In addition, we are typing this slowly as well as being a bit long-winded to give you an opportunity to identify these not well-known states before we reveal them. Have you got it? Well, here it comes: Utah, California, Arizona and Nevada . For those who prefer 'CANU', we trust you get it.   We were full of prejudice years back (wait for it) against Nevada because we perceived it as 'Las Vegas and the Strip'. Once...
