Rainbows Over The Basin

Northwest of Barstow lies one of the most beautiful and mysterious locations in the Mojave Desert: Rainbow Basin, it’s a mishmash of shapes, colors and fantastic formations, a place where water and wind have worked magic, sculpting layers of sandstone and sediment to expose brilliantly colored formation and paleontological features. It changes moment by moment with the passing day, with shadows falling dep into canyons and cuts.

This mural is one of many that can be found on Barstow’s Main Street.

This is #21 in the Ely Murals Series.

“The first mural commissioned by the Ely Renaissance Society was dedicated on July 4th, 2000 at the White Pine County Museum. Notice how the real streetlights compliment the lights in the mural. Painted by Canadian artist Colin Williams, the mural depicts a scene from the early 1900’s that takes place following the annual 4th of July parade during which games for all ages were played. Aren’t you curious to know who won this race?”

Located at the White Pine Public Museum at 2000 East Aultman Street in Ely, Nevada.

Located at the Hotel Nevada at 501 East Aultman Street in Ely, Nevada, this mural is #6 in the Ely Murals series.
