    Nice composition #2. I like the flow of the road and the movement of the vehicles. Great shot.

    Thanks Philip. #2 maybe could use a little more work on the powerlines on the left where they drop below the horizon. But I'll probably reshoot after a rain storm when there's water in the river below. It's the view from our local art gallery, so it's kind of cool to hangout there for an hour or so.

    Pretty neat the way those cirrus clouds look like they're emanating from the top of the structure. Any idea what the structure was for, Walter? There's a structure like that out in Slaughterhouse Canyon in Kingman, only it's made out of stone. I was told it was a shack to hold dynamite.

    Thanks Joel--I have no idea what it could have been used for, but explosives storage sounds like a possibility. It sort of reminded me of something similar I seen in Oatman. I'll ask around.

    I've been thinking about how the entire Mojave Desert is pretty much a curiosity. I like that. It probably sells the desert short though. I like the geology and history laid bare. Every time I go out I find something cool--something different. Even when I go back to the same place it has changed for me. And some things are subtle.

    This is a spring. The water seeps from the ground and builds into a trickle and then a bit of a flow. It seeps back into the ground and the only way to tell where it comes from or goes to is to know which end is up hill and down. It appears so unimportant. It was the only water available in maybe 100 square miles or so. There's a lot of history here for what it is. And remnants of those histories, over literally thousands of years can still be observed with little exploration.
