This is a Wash in a valley at the western foot of Big Bear mountain (California). It was also the wrong time of day to have so much brilliant Quartz rocks so prominent in the picture. Midday sun requires a good reflector or flash fill, but they're of no use whatsoever on a landscape. All the debris at the base of a mountain is still rather interesting.

I hope you used some environmentally friendly detergent to wash your clothes here. The bokeh adds an interesting look in the background. A nice perspective in the photo and good contrasts in the light and shadow.

What I like most is the foreground, and the lower angle, I'm such a fan of your B&W's. Tigs♥ =^..^=

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I really like the detail and especially the foreground of the running stream, hope you didn't get wet. Love your B/W work
