Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas, Nevada (Dec '12)

Although there are no eagles soaring in the distance, these rock formations still have much to offer. Their peaks and valleys boast complex earthy reddish copper tones while sitting proudly against the titanium white backdrop of painterly clouds. The boulders, particularly on screen-left, are reminiscent of a baker's cocoa powder laid out in preparation for a batch of promising brownie treats.
