Another great image Jim, and another reminder why we should look for images in full sun.

Unfortunately, while hiking that day, a few of those lonely tracks happen to be mine, because the image did not present itself with the setting sun, until I returned to the crest of the hill.

Again, gentlemen thank you for your comments.

I was wondering if they were yours. I thought maybe you had made them in the course of finding the right spot to set up your camera - which occurred to me because I don't know how many times I've walked all around a subject in sand or snow looking for the right composition. Then when I've found the right spot and set up the camera I see that my own footprints are now in the photograph.

Brian,

Been there and have done that many times myself. I've always had some difficulty visualizing a scene from a completely different angle and some distance from my present location. As a result, I hike hither and yon leaving prints, or worse, never finding any vantage point I like. :(

Doing a lot of coastal work will force one to develop methods around this problem. I used to get very upset with myself when I was spending a lot of time out there. Fields of grass present a similar problem. In general, its good to start wide and then move in, when time permits.

Sometimes a human presence fits the idea, and then other times when it detracts. In Jim's case, the later story makes the image more intriguing, a sort of visual record of his thought processes.:D

And, I believe, right beside the 7th hole :D

Gentlemen,

You are absolutely correct about my lengthy decision making process, where the process can frustrate me too, especially when I leave a trail, or two... :)

As fate would have it, I left my mark, and Ken you are correct, but I love playing that course without the snow.

That's great, David. I love the purples that can be captured in slot canyons.

Yes, beautiful David - and on Astia!

Well seen, David.
