This view is one of the morning after an overnight snow storm in harsh, desert wilderness and an awakening to a new day at sunrise. There's more though; this is a remarkable collision of land forms and desert use areas just north of Las Vegas. Visible in the frame ( and in the photographer's view all around) are portions of the following: Nellis AFB bombing and gunnery range, Southern Nevada Paiute reservation lands, the Sheep mountain range, the Spring Mountain range, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge, the Desert View Environmental Recreation Area, the desert combat training facility, the Three Lakes Valley and the US Highway 95 corridor.
