I caught this scene outside of Sheridan, Wyoming earlier this winter. I like the way the fog and mountains feel like a barrier to any travel in that direction.


Canon T1i
1/80 sec f/16 55mm

Thanks for looking

Nice image of the west. It looks to me you have handled the lighting well, considering the fog/clouds/gray sky, at the top and the black cattle on the prairie. TFS

I like this. The colors in it are complementary, and it's such a peaceful scene. Lots of layers in it, and the cows really stand out. It's easy for a westerner to look at. :wink:

A very serene ranching scene. I like how the cows are scattered throughout the foreground and the contrast between the warm grasses and the cold mountain and sky.

I like the way you have shown the great vastness of the west Nancy. I could see this hanging huge in a log home. Wonderful image and display Nancy.

Really nice image Sandy. I used to live in this area and miss this "front range" view of the Bighorns.
