    Thank you afmdmc, Cato and Awais.

    I was thinking the shot has symbolic links to a Panamint Valley Shoshone version of the myth called the "The Theft of Fire", but may better serve the title page for the entire series.

    Will have to think about it a few days.

    Thanks- A 5 shot HDR. I ran it through photomatix a few times and the sky kept blowing out, so I took a shot where the sky looked good and just blended it in to the hdr.

    Thank you. It seemed to be the trip to work with extreme ranges. The day before I was shooting in a narrow little slot canyon that went from one extrreme to another also.
