Last trip to Rainbow Canyon 2015

Post by Fumbles »

Mrs. Fumbs and I flew to Las Vegas yet again. This time we were to see MUSE at the Mandalay Bay, well the concert was postponed till January 9 2016. What were we to do? Well.... I got a chance to visit the Canyon one more time before the end of the year. We were there for about 4 hours on Tuesday afternoon and for 4 hours on Wednesday morning. We had some interesting traffic... But as you can see by the pictures.. Almost every time something would fly through... We had some cloud which created bad light... The interesting bit about this time of year. Because of the weather and the angle of the sun, more yellows showed through then I'm used to.

Anyways some of the shots were taken at 400ISO so are more distorted. Definitely not my best shots from there... But between the company we had on the ridge and the jokes. The trip was worth it and I figured I would share them to take away some winter blahs.

On the drive up.. how ironic.. We went for the MUSE "Drones" world tour and didn't see it but I did finally get a pic of a flying Drone! Not that exciting or the best shot. But I was happy to see one.

Thanks for looking.
