Good place for a picnic

While in New Mexico with my dad, we took a trip through some BLM land.  We had a local fella along with us and he had mentioned if I wanted a good spot to take a panoramic picture, that I needed to hoof it out of the truck, up a slight rise and enjoy the view.  I’d say he was right!

While I took this shot in color, it had more of a classic feel to me in b/w with a bit of vignetting….

worth the hike

    • Thanks Inky! I thought the original image was very pretty…. but that was it, just a pretty picture that anyone with a camera could have handled…. The black and white with the vignetting made it a bit more special to me and I’m glad you like it!!
