How Low Can You Go?
Hoover Dam, Nevada
2022
The normal water level in Lake Mead behind Hoover Dam is near the very top of this image of one of the intake towers for the dam’s power plant. That’s nearly 200 feet above the water level when this photo was taken.

Ceiling View
Miller Point, Nevada
2022
The ramada at Miller Point was built in the 30s by the CCC to provide a shaded viewpoint of Cathedral Gorge below. The view down into the gorge was certainly nice but the view straight up had its own appeal as well.

Much larger views of the area than this are of course available at Cathedral Gorge. But for me, this is about as wide as my image coverage gets. Unlike yesterday’s image, taken up close in the same area, this one does not brink the word luscious to mind. But the lighting certainly is dramatic and really sets off the detail in the formations nicely.

I’m going to end this series from Cathedral Gorge with a couple of black and white images. The shapes and forms, tonality, and soft but dramatic lighting in this one make me think I should have named it Luscious Landscape.

We went so deep into that crevice that the world turned black and white! (That’s my way of indicating that the last few photos from Cathedral Gorge will be in black and white.)

In addition to all the intriguing crevices, caves, and slot canyons in the “little landscapes” at Cathedral Gorge, there are plenty of bigger than life ones to explore as well.

Little Landscape #55
Cathedral Gorge, Nevada
2022
A massive snowfield leads up to a deep cave in the tall cliffs. Or they look massive and tall and deep to me even though that cave entrance, for example, is maybe only about 10 inches tall.
