Wonderful. :o :o :o
Remind me something...... :wink:

If you are able to find try to get and watch this Movie:
Zabriskie Point (1970) Michelangelo Antonioni http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066601/ one of the best movie after Blow Up!

Ps: What Filter Did You Use?
Polarizing filter? Dark right corner!
However I love the spectacular view, looks like a post card!

Big Red - Thanks! Very bright out at that time of day, thought I was going to go snowblind 8)

Avkomp-1 exposure, colors in my opinion are actually better than the pic relays. Those such as Gary etc that have been there know what I mean

gstark - Thanks Gary :!:

wmaburnett - appreciate the feedback :)

birddog - yeah, glad I didn't loose it in Vegas either :shock: Saw alot of D200's being carried around 8)

Trevor: Daria Halprin, and yes she was.

Mind you, I'm a sucker for Karen Black and Kelly McGillis.

This is an excellent image! Welcome back Paul. The image really portrays the scene well, it's got quite an element of the surreal to it. Well done and thanks for posting. :D
