Exactly John! This was about 6:00 on teh driving range of the College of the Desert (or something like that) in Palm Desert, CA. I'd get up very early every AM and go shoot before the family woke. They's alsways ask me what beautiful desert scene I shot and thought I was joking when I responded "the vacant lot between Target and the taco stand"... :wink:

Thanks for the comments, as always.

BTW - I'm very familiar with E. Smith. I don't never really considered him a photographic influence, but he is one of my all time favorite photographers. Love his work. His jazz apartment series is utterly incredible. There's one photo of Thelonius Monk that gives me chills.

Best,

Thomas

Thomas,
Nice one. I knew it was a golf course. I suspect that the plastic tube is a tee marker.

I was thinking it might be an alignment aid left over from a group lesson or class. In the full-rez version you can see stray balls everywhere...

Had 5 pretty good reounds while we were down there but couldn't putt the greens. Much harder and faster than up here.

That's a good one! But I was thinking of this:
