Vistas: Beauty of the Desert presents a series of landscape photographs made across Nevada, focusing on the state’s varied terrain and the quiet details that define it. The work highlights how scale, distance, and gradual change shape the experience of being in these environments. Rather than emphasizing well‑known destinations, the photographs draw attention to places that are often overlooked, where light, silence, and open space reveal the land’s history in plain view.

Melvin Morales is a Las Vegas–based artist whose work focuses on landscape photography.

On exhibit at West Charleston Library gallery through September 1.
