Mojave Desert: Lost in the shadow of Red Rock....

The heat was so intense on this day, that my tripod was almost too hot to touch.  Nonetheless, these "stepped" rocks intrigued me,  So, I stepped out of my air-conditioned Jeep and went walking about with my camera and tripod.

I had won the battle against air-conditioning lethargy!
