This is part one of several planned photo blogs comprised of shots taken in and around Reno and Sparks, NV.  I kept each blog short, none more than 23 photos, but most are more like between 3 and 15 photos.  I'm breaking the series up in an attempt to keep alike photos together,
These shots were all taken August 1, early in the morning in North Sparks.

As always, if you click on the photos, a larger version will appear.
More to follow, thanks for looking!!!!!
 
I'm liking the Nugget with Mt. Rose in the background a lot! Very well done, Tony. This would make a great enlargement or screensaver. You grew up here? It looks like parts of the dribe from Santa Maria to Bakersfield, across the San Andreas Fault. This is also a perfect example of a telephoto lens compressing distance to great affect.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very nice place to grow up. The fence and sunrise are my favs!
ReplyDeleteThe moon above the MGM, aka... is terrific.
