Spring Oasis in Nevada Red Desert Canyon in across a wide valley floor in Nevada

Spring Oasis in Nevada Red Desert Canyon

by Kofi Thompson

Hard coastal glare strikes the deep red sandstone walls of a Nevada canyon, illuminating a vibrant pocket of water nestled in the valley floor. The bright turquoise pool contrasts sharply with the rust-colored rock, while sparse green reeds cluster tightly along the muddy banks. Strong winds whip the surface of the spring into frothy white ripples, disturbing the stillness of the surrounding scrub brush. Shadows fall steeply beneath overhanging ledges, carving dark lines into the warm stone. Dry tumbleweeds rest against the wet earth near the water's edge, caught in the gusts. One stone, smoothed by the current, sits half-submerged in the foreground.
