Red Rock Canyon is just 45 minutes from the Las Vegas strip, but completely lacks slot machines, neon signs, B-list entertainment, chain restaurants, and other modern necessities. Zero stars, would not gamble there again.
I mostly photograph the built world, but occasionally I wander off into nature until they find me and bring me back to the city.
Philip Guenther@mattblaze Gotta be careful out there in nature: the fresh air might make you unseasonably giddy, aggravate your sense of beauty and peace…
