Ooh, Las Vegas Sunrise

When you wake up on East Coast time, it's easy to go out and capture the sunrise (not to mention a lot cooler; Labor Day weekend was well over 100°F.  Later in the week it was much cooler over 9000 feet at the North Rim and over 10,000 feet at Cedar Breaks.



At one corner, New York, medieval England, and ancient Egypt (the Las Vegas versions)


Tropicana disappearing to put in a new stadium.  Gambling and professional sports, the perfect blend.  Traffic even at sunrise.


Geology in the mountains west of town.  Better rocks to the north in the Sheep Range.



Parking lots (and slow traffic) everywhere.




With enough water, the desert blossoms.


 When we returned at the end of week, haze replaced the blue skies.
