Thanks Ron. I'll have to get by there someday.

I agree. The amazing thing to me are the patterns. Miles and miles of mesas that have erroded. Each mesa seems to have a distinct errosion pattern that is duplicated all around its sides. Very cool at dusk.

Great images everyone... :)

Nice work everyone is right.

Playing around with B+W conversions of some Velvia chromes. Here is one from Big Bend National Park in far west Texas.

Oh Canada…just perfect Jim. Springrtime is skytime!

Here's a picture taken in the Alabama Hills, at the foot of Mt. Whitney. I like the textures and the tonality, but the jury in my head is still out on the composition. Maybe a horizontal view would be more pleasing to look at, but I think the jumbles of rock in the foreground would've been too discombobulating.
Any comments are welcome.

I like the vertical crop. I think I'd try a flip horizontally.

Thanks for the comment. I tried a flip horizontally (in the privacy of my own home) at your suggestion, and perhaps it does look better that way. I hesitate to present it in public that way though because the recognizable geographical features (Lone Pine Peak and Mt. Whitney) would be out of place. I can't bring myself to mess around with mother nature in that way.
