Wow, Austin, I really like that one. The pathway leading your eye to the horizon really makes it.
Darren--quietly beautiful image.
There has been some great work here lately. I am envious, because landscapes have never been my strength. They look easy, but are definitely not.

Here's one looking into Death Valley from the east side:

This was taken a few years back during a spectacular wild flower season. On a sad note during this trip someone abandonded a beautiful Peacock who was standing at a stop sign approaching every car that stopped and looking in. It was getting dark and turning cold when I approached and I knew that the bird, standing about 3 foot or so tall (he could look directly in over the door) and I knew that he would be in trouble if no one picked him up. But I didn't have room or a place to take him so drove off. With hindsight I now regret not letting him in and driving him to a police station but I didn't think of that at the time.

Thanks. I'm not sure what the temperature was that day, but I can tell you that it was brutal. This was one of those photos that you have to force yourself to make because it seems like the simple effort of taking off your backpack and setting up your camera (not to mention getting under the dark cloth) might just kill you.Quote:

More celestial than landscape, but I thought it best to post here.

Toyo 45A, 90mm f4.5 Nikkor, Tri-X, exposure for a few hours, can't recall exactly how long it was.
looks like about 30 degrees (=2 hours)
