Las Vegas Valley from the Sloan Mountains
A rare perspective of the city sitting in the valley taken from above Sloan Mountains to the south. I never shoot images of cities or buildings, it's jut not my thing to do. I am an aerial wilderness photographer. However I got this while testing out a different camera.
In this uncommon point of view you can see that Las Vegas sits down in a valley, that is Gray Mountain in the distance and the foothills of Sloan Mountain in the foreground. To the bottom left, right above the small hills you can barely make out Henderson Executive Airport.
The image was captured late in the afternoon from an altitude of 4,500ft (1,371.6m) shooting towards the northeast.
