Spanish Desert

Hi all,

Been a busy few weeks, but we managed to get off for a few days over the weekend, and explored some of the hot interior of Spain. Such a contrast to the shooting we usually do here on the coast.

Could be Northern Arizona or Utah...

If you hadn't described the location I would have guessed this was indeed from Utah. No nits, a beautiful image.

Alister,

This is nice. If you hadn't mentioned Spain, I'd have guessed Utah, or Arizona. I would like to see the yellowish base on the left side of the tower, as it seems a bit cut off. Other than that, this works very well.

Boy what a sky to compliment the formation. Good contrasting color and light. Nice work Alister.

Maybe I should move to Spain. I think I might feel at home here. Excellent textures and contrasting colors. I like this and wonder what else you might have from here :confused:

Wow. I had no idea Spain had anything like this. I really need to go back and explore that country more. Well done Alister.

Spain!? I though UT or AZ for sure. Nice cool on warm and weird formation with good clouds. :toast:

Could be a little sharper.

Terrific image. I like the twin ridges leading to the chimney and the scattered clouds in the sky are a great addition.
