You finish the rest of this story... This place was so fun to shoot, I didn't want the morning light to end. Zach Schnepf and I found this awesome locale in the Alvord desert area. Hope you like it.

Jeremy
Sometimes I don't think some images posted in this site have enough nature in them. This one however speaks volumes of the transitory nature of man's influence on the landscape. I think this is a very powerful statement. Well done.

This is great...I like the color version too (didn't Zach post his in B&W?) It would be good with just the car, but the old barn really adds to the story.

This is just outstanding. The light and sky create an amazingly dramatic effect.

This is gorgeous! The color version is equally strong, and I love your perspective you chose.

That is some crazy movement with the light and clouds. the composition is nearly flawless as well. Most importantly, the subject matter is of substance not just a pretty picture of a barren landscape.

I like both yours and Zack's versions. Your color image has warmth in the color of the rust and wood in the morning light.

It is cool how nature slowly erases our efforts. Well framed.
