This is from Cathedral State Park, in Nevada. It's a very cool little
park that has a wonderfully eroded drainage that can look like another planet. I stopped here to take a break from a long drive, and really enjoyed myself till dark.

5d2, iso 50, f/16, .4s

comments and critiques appreciated.

Gary: Well seen and a fine conversion. At first glance I thought this would be from the Badlands. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

Gary, I like this very much. I think your b&w conversion really adds some nice drama to this scene. I like the tones and the detailed textures as well. The dark clouds finish this off nicely. :smile:

I agree, the 'eroded' look with all its rough textures and form really suits this B&W conversion.
I like the open ended title as well..
It invites the viewer to draw their own conclusion, food for thought.
Excellent :toast: :toast:
