Bright

A very striking landscape. The flared lighting adds a lot of atmosphere. Nicely captured.

Thanks, Jeff. This is one I'd never bothered to work before, since making the original transparency. It was taken at the same spot as the "Cairn 5" shot (http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6391845), during a badly-needed rest and water break, and I'd kind of forgotten I had it.

Taken from Cairn 5 of the Desert Trail route, across southeastern

Oregon's Pueblo Mountains. This was shot hand-held, lying on the

ground a little downslope from the flowers. The biggest challenge was

focusing through the view finder without burning a hole in my retina!
