This was my first winter living in the desert. The shift in weather patterns was unexpected, and each morning brought new sensations of chill and wonder.
I had developed a fascination with Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, a place that quickly became special to me and my photography. The unique landscapes and dramatic skies inspired me to explore further, camera in hand.
On this particular morning, I loaded my gear into the truck, driven by the hope that the previous night’s snowfall might still blanket the landscape. Arriving at the scenic overlook, I was astonished by the scene before me: fog drifting through the valley, clouds swirling overhead, and the vibrant colors of the mountains illuminated in the morning light. It was a moment that captured both the stark cold and the profound beauty of the desert in winter.
