Just a tiny rest stop on a two lane back road, somewhere West of Dodge City, Kansas. No picnic tables or facilities. Just a restful view and a plaque mentioning that you're on the Butterfield Stage Route from St. Louis, Missouri to San Francisco, California circa 1859 to 1864. Blue and I just stretched our legs, took a few pictures and left after about a half hour, without seeing another vehicle. My idea of peaceful.

Your shot has that dreamy post photo work that I like so much, Doug. Your exceptional technical skills are showcased in this image. The contrast really heightens the 3-D look of the posting. And as always the composition is spot on.

I'm not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

A great shot Doug. The sky looks great. I wouldn't mind riding shotgun with a view like this.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
