Started with thoughts of a colour version but the variations in the mountains tonal range were less than I wanted, so here's another B&W. It's a National Monument Park right on the Arizona\Mexico border, due South of Phoenix.

The mountain range looks spectacular in b&w Doug. A really great photo of the plant life in this elevation of desert.

Again...it seems to be another planet, Doug. I particularly like the smattering of lines throughout made by the cacti. The almost illuminated road also takes on an eerie aspect.

Looks impressive in b/w Doug. The high contrast has brought out all the details well.

Looks like it could be the set for an old black and white western. Excellent shot, Doug.

It must get noisy during a wind storm when the pipes are out of tune. A nice capture of the scene, Doug.
