With a leisurely, late start from Elko, we encountered a few midday showers Monday, crossing Nevada’s Great Basin between Carlin and Tonopah, making for some interesting high-speed photos with the point and shoot.
Under a dark cloud outside Eureka, a blurry foreground beneath a crisp Lone Mountain on the ‘Lonliest Road in America’ (US 50).
Hay headed to dry California.
We stopped for a bowl of soup at the refurbished and reopened Mizpah in Tonopah,
then headed into to the sunset towards Bishop.












There is blessing in simply being . . .

Very nice series. I particularly the abstract quality of the first image of rain on your windshield.

Thanks, Tim, you know the through-the-windshield drill, point and shoot auto focus with inside reflections. We decided to go for it anyway and see how they came out.

When I noticed your travel through Tonopah, I was thinking you might have been driving through our neighborhood. Last week we had quite a spell of rain for around here. Tonopah, AZ is just west of us here in Buckeye… A little thought and a quick Google search let me in on the fact that there is a Tonopah, Nevada.
