Views from a commercial flight from Boise, Idaho to Reno, Nevada
January 2006

Pyramid Lake
[The edge of the wing and two engines are visible along the left edge of the image. Partially snow-capped mountains are along the lower edge and partially up the right side. There is a very blue lake with what looks to be slightly low water levels under the wing and across the middle of the image. The upper part of the image is land on the same level as the lake. The ground is brown.]

Mountains in Northwest Nevada
[The airplane wing was edited out of this image. It contains brown mountains with many small sections with white covering(snow). This image is much closer to the tops of the mountains than the prior image. The ground is brown on the mountains and on all sides of them.]

Truckee River just east of Reno, Nevada
September 24, 2011

Looking left from I-80 scenic view point.
[Lots of barren-looking mountainy land except for the area near the river which is lined with trees. A railroad runs along a flat portion a short distance from the trees.]

Looking right from I-80 scenic view point.
[Continuation eastward of the same scenery as in the

Walker Lake - Central Nevada
September 25, 2011

Walker Lake
[A large expanse of steel blue lake rimmed by sandstone colored mountains. Plenty of thin white clouds in the blue sky.]

Vista surrounding the lake
[More of the ground leading up to the water. Guardrail can be seen in lower left of image.]

Closeup of the shore
[Edges of the shore which give the impression because of the stepped nature that the lake is at a lower level than it has been in the past.]

Hillside at the edge of the highway
[Looking up at craggy, vegetationless rock framed by white and blue skies.]

Goldfield, Nevada
[Scenic roadside, panoramic view from the south end of the city. There are Joshua trees on the left at the roadside, colorful building/roofs sit on the dirt amid the brown sagebrush. In the background are mountains that appear to be colorful shades of white and purple due to shadows of clouds way overhead (and not seen in the blue sky of the photo).]

A closer view of the Joshua trees in the prior image
[Two Joshua trees beside each other. The one on the right has more trunk and branches visible and has a lot of branches. The one on the left has more greenery and is more of a globe shape. These are both beside the asphalt of the road.]

Buildings in Goldfield
[There is a large rock-dirt hill with a tower atop it. In front of the hill are numerous single-story buildings. The image was taken from a pull-off beside the road and the asphalt of the pull-off as well as the road to town are visible. In the far distance are many mountains.]

Colorful hills south of Beatty, Nevada
[These dirt and rock mounds are dark brown, tan, white, orange, and a shade of green as they sit above the white-barked yellow-green leafed trees near the side of the road.]
