The sun sets in the middle of nowhere in the Mojave Desert.

This shot was taken around sunset in Mojave National Preserve near the Teutonia Peak Trail. This trail passes through an area with the highest density of Joshua Trees anywhere in the world. I used HDR to help balance the light between the foreground and sky. HSS

The rapidly fading sunlight does its best to illuminate the nose of a snoozing SD59MX idling at the south end of Mojave yard.
mojave desert, 2015
And thou shalt give me health, life and old age,
a long reign, strength to all my limbs; sight to my
eyes, hearing to my ears and pleasure to my heart
daily. And thou shalt give me to eat until I am full,
and thou shalt give me to drink unto drunkenness,
and thou shalt promote my seed to be kings in
this country to eternity. And thou shalt make me
content every day, thou shalt listen to my voice in
whatever I shall say to thee and grant me very
high Nile floods to furnish thy offerings and to
furnish the offerings of the gods and goddesses.
Thou shalt preserve all the people of thy land,
their cattle and their trees, which thy hand has
made. For it is thou who hast made them all,
thou canst not abandon them to pursue another
design with them, for that would not be right.
-- prayer to the god Osiris from Pharaoh Ramses IV,
circa 1150 BC.
A pair of road units sit at the south end of the yard in Mojave. This yard fields several local freights to the nearby cement and mineral loaders, but these heavy trains have rated modern road power for most of their existence.
Touring the American Southwest at the moment, with Red Rock Canyon as our first scenic stop.
That day we hiked up to Turtlehead Peak; oh boy and oh joy, what a strenuous and tough hike it was!
This picture was taken in the parking lot of the trailhead, overlooking Sandstone Quarry. We hung back to catch the sunset which wasn't much due to the clouds but the short-lived afterglow was gorgeous.
"While the winter season may freeze out activities in much of the country, Red Rock Canyon enjoys the warm Mojave Desert sun which makes it quite a pleasant season for outdoor activities.
The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area [RRCNCA] is located just a few miles west of Las Vegas and encompasses 195,819 acres within the Mojave Desert. Red Rock Canyon is an area of worldwide geologic interest and beauty."
As always, thank you for your visit; I truly appreciate your support!🌷🌷🌷
