Nevada Desert Pan Mirage After Rain

by Marshall Maxwell

Wet clay spreads across a flat floodplain in Nevada, reflecting the deep indigo of the blue hour sky. A shimmering heat haze distorts the distant horizon where a town glows with orange streetlights. Dry season dust rests on the cracked earth edges, against the smooth, dark puddles. The air appears thick with rising warmth, bending light into wavy lines above the ground. Shadows stretch long and soft across the saline flats, while the town lights flicker through the atmospheric distortion. A thin layer of water on the surface mirrors the fading sky above.
