More from Red Rock Canyon

Yesterday, I posted a couple of videos taken in Red Rock Canyon. Here are some stills, to show that this park in my back yard is as spectacular as ever. First, here's the outcrop of sandstone known as Calico Rocks, where visitors can climb right to the top!

While Calico Rocks is on the East side of the park, there are colossal sandstone and granit cliffs which rise on the South side:

There are some rough dirt roads hikers can take to get closer to the cliffs, and even climb on them. For the photographer, tey are an opportunity to get a bit closer!

It's really shameful how easily we photographers are thrilled!

I think of it as my childish innocence...

Please do look at the earlier videos!
