Howdy All,

Still piddling around with the images from the last Road Trip to

New Mexico.

This one is from just outside the Ghost Ranch, where
the wonderful Artist Georgia O'Keeffe lived and
painted some of her most stunning Landscapes.

    WHOA!!!! This is a powerful shot. That stone structure looks as if it's busting through the earth's surface. And those clouds.....boy, Craig, you do have a way with skies.clap.gif

    Take care my friend,

    The angles of the landscape add a punch to this photo, but the sky ... it always wins thumb.gifthumb

    Magnificent shot, Craig! You've done Georgia O'Keefe proud--I think she'd have used your shot as inspiration. Well done!

    Howdy Lauren,

    Thanks so much, we went back into the Ghost Ranch were they
    were painting and giving lessons. Would have loved to stay
    for a while longer, but we were Chasing the Light:D

    Thanks very much Randy, I knew from all that
    I'd seen of your images and of us talking
    that this was going to be quite a Trip.

    Something about that part of the Country seems
    to just get inside you.
    Take care,
