Is this intentional or is it just my monitor?

Its not intentional. Its a strange anomaly from my computer when a little toning is applied that appears to vary in different locations. If I had caught it I would have corrected it before posting. This used to happen with selenium and sepia toning in the darkroom, too, ironically. Someone else commented that it was over-sharpened as well.
I'm glad the image is worthy enough for people to be concerned about it presentation, and welcome suggestions for improvement, so thanks Denise and Ezzie.

Dear Mike,
I am not certain whether you were in Alberta or not, but Alberta's free-range ranches can be quite large, and since I must introduce myself to the ranchers before I enter their property, the ranchers quickly speak to me about their non visible property boundaries. Their pride overflows when they talk about their land, and the added value that their ranch brings to Alberta's economy. I visited a few free-range ranches in Southern Alberta during the past year or two, where several free-range areas were surely larger than 10,000 Hectares, and where this land mass is approximately equal to thirty-nine uniquely Canadian "more or less" square mile land sections, or approximately twenty-five thousand acres. I am usually told to just follow the fence line, and I will not get lost… :)
Alberta's foothills, complete with the free-range ranches that back into the leeward side of the Rocky Mountains, along with the ever-changing weather, are a wondrous place to visit.

I must travel there one day; the landscape looks epic.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Jim,
IIRC you are a petroleum engineer or the likes. If I had an office view like yours it would be pure joy to get up and go to work everyday. When I retire I want to come up and ride to work with you. Simply beautiful landscape in your neck of the woods.

I'm not usually in the habit of dropping scripture, but it seems right for a cemetery scene.

It was sprinkling and blowing quite hard. My guide, Jim Galli, was laughing at me as my dark cloth became nearly useless in the wind. The scene, though, was indeed evocative as I thought of these people going to work in a mine (or whatever?) and then ending it as a name on a rock in the middle of the desert. There were strikes of lightning happening over the hills to the left...
