Country of Lost Borders

Ute, Paiute, Mojave, and Shoshone inhabit its frontiers, and as far into the heart of it as a man dare go. Not the law, but the land sets the limit. Desert is the name it wears upon the maps, but the Indian's is the better word. Desert is a loose term to indicate land that supports no man; whether the land can be bitted and broken to that purpose is not proven. Void of life it never is, however dry the air and villainous the soil.

    You know, as much as I've enjoyed seeing your images of the desert, I can't remember any that I've liked better than this one. It's a perfect representation of the desert in my mind. Everything is right on, the vignette, the colorization, everything!

    Great image! And equally great processing! thumb.gif

    nice image and its really is doing a great job expressing its story...

    myself i think the vignette is a good choice, i dont know why it fits, but it works fo me...i would like to see the vignette knocked down by 50% to see if it fit inline with the natural curves from the wash better...

    cool image Walter!
