Description
February 2014, and the sun sets directly behind Reno Nevada, as viewed from east Sparks. It is a rare thing for the backlighting to occur on a windy and dusty day, filtering through a haze and onto downtown Reno.
The self-proclaimed "biggest little city in the world," Reno is on I-80 ten miles from the California border and rests at the foot of the snowcapped Sierra Nevada, with the Truckee River winding through its center. To the northeast lies the Black Rock Desert, the home of the famous "Burning Man" festival over the Labor Day weekend. Reno is also the Home of "Hot August Nights," a week-long event featuring classic cars.
This photo has been very popular on National Geographic My Photos page, and I regret that it has taken me so long to post it here.
