I've always wanted to see the deserts of Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Colorado and the past two weeks we spent a whirlwind holiday in a small portion of the US outback. It is an wonderful world of color, texture and life. I was mesmerized by color and texture to the extent I did not concentrate much on getting photos of living beings. Birds, reptiles and mammals escaped my attention but I saw the most amazing scenes imaginable. My one regret is the small size in which I will display the photos but this is insurance against theft.
The trip started by flying to Las Vegas, NV and travel by car(SUV) for two weeks exploring. On the fist day I planned to travel 123 miles to St George in Utah but 16:00 that afternoon we had not even covered 60 miles. The light was getting dim with clouds gathering in the area and it was time to move on. Showing you some of the photos taken on the first day will take many days so I will start with a few.

Hoover Dam is too much to photograph from the ground...
