More Open Range Country
Another image from my trip to the open range country of New Mexico. Love these lonely mountains that pop out of the grasslands.

See more on my blog

One really gets a sense of isolation from these images Darren. I like the oh so soft light in this one. Thanks for sharing.

Darren, this looks like the country between Clayton and Raton New Mexico?

It does look like that but thus is far more remote. Not only is not marked on maps there are neither signs nor paved roads here.

All of that just makes me like it more.

It's nice to still have some locations that are that remote. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely, Darren. Like the layering of the snow in the near mountains, and the soft light.

I agree with all of the above. Looks like pronghorn country for sure.
