The road seen here is the start of the seven mile scenic drive which we had the time to check out and it was amazing with so many different layers of color and formations. We did not end up with a great sunset as the light just sort of died behind a storm, but I did take advantage of this late evening light moving in and out of the clouds with, of course, a pano. The area to the right of this image is nothing but some hills and not very interesting especially with some electrical lines going through. To the left are more mesas which I could have included in a third shot, but there were too many tourists walking about at the time. I hope you like it as I'm rather proud of this attempt and I only had to use two shots without additional blending.
