A pastel colored sunset scene at Pyramid Lake NV. Anaho Island and the Lake Range loom on the horizon.
This is a Winter's scene from Las Vegas, NV. There's snow in the nearby mountains, but in the valley, the clouds cleared to reveal a sunny, beautifully colorful day for a picnic at the park. #ThroughHerLens
Today was an interesting day. It started with snow and heavy winds in Hope Valley, and I decided to drive East off the mountain towards Nevada. Genoa was recommended to me by a couple of people as a place to explore. Genoa is the oldest community in Nevada and was founded in 1851. The original watering hole is still serving beer today.
As I was driving out of town, I wanted to capture some trees that still had yellow leaves on them next to a creek. I got a couple of worthy shots and then I saw this rainbow. Of course, I pulled over when I saw a place that I could frame it well. This was the winner and the beginning of a fun day of exploring.
This is another large building ruin in Jefferson. This building is across the creek from the thicket.
Huron Basin, Salford Quays
I don't know if the buildings name was genuinely thought up by some smug marketing executive but it's meant to convey "eNVy" if you didn't want to live there. I just hope it's an urban myth!
The NV Buildings were designed by Broadway Maylan and completed between 2004 and 2005. The development consists of three 18-storey residential towers, each 180 feet (55 m) in height. Costing £36 million, they stand in a line overlooking Huron Basin from the waterside of Pier 9 (North Wharf), their curved frontages are designed to represent sails. At night, the buildings are illuminated by green lights atop curved poles, and green flood light to either side.
There are now more tower blocks under construction behind them, hence the crane on the right.

I have been hearing about Rachel quite a bit lately, with the "storm area 51" news. Here it is, not a ghost town but a real town. 148 miles to the nearest Wal Mart. You can drive pretty fast during the day, but I recommend you slow way down at night - that Open Range sign means cattle and wild horses can easily be on the road. Area 51 is out of frame on the left.
A pair of ALCo's are spotted switching the yard at East Ely, NV from underneath the railroad's steam crane.
The UP/NS merger is on the way as NS locos reach California. On the way back on their "Coast to Coast-Tour" NS 1051 leads a grain train together with here usual yellow sisters as the have left nice Palisade Canyon in central Nevada.

Thank you for all your kind comments and visits, much appreciated!
That false front makes me think this might have been a store or business. Teels Marsh is the light colored patch. Boundary peak left.
Here it is in better days:
