I always look forward to your posts. The colors are very pleasing. Not too sure about the fall-off in the front. And is that a tow truck crossing the desert floor on the left?

Beautiful colours. Is the greenish haze on the horizon normal for your area?

Nice! I just crossed thru the Mojave desert to get to Death Valley. Near Shosone CA. Where is this in relation to where you visited?

No, that's a tree out there- not sure what kind though. Thanks!

Thank you- Digital.

Thanks, the the green isn't normal at all. I blew it on the sky treatment. I shouldn't touch the 'hue' slider. Thanks for pointing that out.

Nice! I am going to post some Death Valley pics in a moment, but they not as beautiful as this.

Love & Bass

Thanks. DV is gorgeous. I'm sure you'll do it justice. Can't wait to see them. I won't be able to get out there until late November/December, will have to live vicariously I guess.

I tried to clean it up a bit. I won't see my 'color corrector' (wife) until tuesday. Hope I didn't skritch it up too much..

Here's a link to the 'green' version.

This is south and east of Shoshone maybe 80-90 miles or so. Out there that's the same nieghborhood. I stayed in Nipton and went out to a place called Desert Crossing to get this. Nipton is due south of Stateline, Nevada. If you look at the bottom of the mountain, there is a lighter colored line running across the image. This is the 15 freeway. To the left, west is Barstow/LA, to the right, east, is Las Vegas.

Shoshone & Tecopa are cool. Check this out: Shoshone Interactive Satellite Image

Nipton is a trip. I stayed in the Nipton Hotel- 6 rooms, two baths (you share).

I was on my way to nominate this for POTM and saw that someone beat me to it! Bugger! Well anyway, the colors are just fascinating. True art at its best. I wish I could give you a critique, but I cant find anything wrong with it. Astounding.

I see that Thanks! Seems to be a good month for me. I hope it keeps up. Craig's pictures of Death Valley are driving me nuts right now. I'm going the other direction in a few hours, and that's cool- sort of. I guess.

(pssst.. thanks Coldow91 )
