There's a little grouping of hills over at the Painted Hills with this cool short path. I always liked how martian it looked.

The strange clouds help with the feeling. I wonder how this would look as a night time exposure. Anyhow, nice shot.

I love that little boardwalk too, Rick. This is better than your last attempt with it IMO. The sky is killer!

Awesome shot, Rick! I just took a quick glance at the recent M&N posts, and this thumb immediately caught my attention. You should go back and have someone pose in a space suit!

Awesome shot, Rick! Perfect sky to compliment the scene, too. Fabulous perspective, great play of light and shadow among the hills. This looks so peaceful and inviting. Thanks for posting. I just gotta get there this year. Congratulations on the EP!
