All, for those that haven't seen the following Anonymous posting - http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/ic.cgi?a=vp&pr=55599&b=vg2&st=50&la=712&ph=60&sid=30434&u=30485 - I'm the guilty party! (I don't know if that will paste as a link - the image is currently on Page 2 of the ESS gallery.) There are probably a number of you who don't know me since I haven't posted here in a long time, but I'm hoping to be more active in the future. Thanks to Jasper Doest for "hosting" the image for me....
Interestingly, NO ONE has taken the bait on trying to guess the location of the image. Anyone care to hazard a guess? FYI - I am based in central Indiana and work almost exclusively east of the Mississippi River. So if you think the image is somewhere in Arizona/Colorado/California/New Mexico, try again! Any takers??
Oh, one other point. Everyone who commented mentioned the wood touching the left side of the frame. That is actually a consequence of the scanning process. The original 4x5 tranny DOES have a slight separation between the edge of the frame and the arm of the stump, which would be obvious in a large print.....
If anyone else would like to continue the Anonymous game, please contact me offline and let me know, and I'll post an image for you....
Thanks,
Christopher Jordan

None other than the Lake Michigan shoreline, Christopher!

Most probably the Lake Michigan shoreline, Christopher. However, there are some sandy places along the western shore of the Keweenaw Peninsula (Lake Superior), so the photo could have been taken there.
