This beautiful oasis was sadly burned down when a "controlled" burn got out of control. That happened July of 2010. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owned the property, and I just read they are rebuilding the site, which was a recreational property used for scouts, ward activities (a ward is what the church calls a congregation), etc. The palms crowded a beautiful, warm spring that appeared here in the middle of the Nevada desert. I took this photo about a year before the fire.

What a tragedy to loose this beauty.
A splendid photo Nathan - it is unfamiliar landscape to me. The beautiful sky is an added bonus

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Just looking at all those dried leaves and I would sadly imagine that they'd flare up like a torch in a fire.

Your photograph is their living memory.

I really like the variation of shapes and colors that you captured in the photograph. And I love that the clouds mirror the shapes and splay of the palm fronds.

Beautiful shot.

Breath taking shot and that sky looks like the clouds are coming right out of the trees - that's too bad but is wonderful they are rebuilding - right into my favs
