I was driving along the main road in Valley of Fire State Park<\/a> at sunrise on Sunday, heading toward the White Domes area when I saw the top of a impressive sandstone wall receiving the first rays of morning light. The orange\/red\/yellow color was so intense it stopped me in my tracks. The moon was just setting over the top of the wall<\/a> as well. I decided to forget about my original plan for a sunrise hike across the mesa and see what photos I could make of this wall. This sort-of self-portrait<\/a> with my tripod was my favorite of the bunch. The colors on this wall were so saturated at sunrise that I had to desaturate them a fair bit just to keep my computer monitor from spontaneously bursting into flame.<\/p>\n
