By request, here's the original colour shot of Joshua Tree N.P., boulders, minus my truck camper. They still look pretty big, even without the truck, for comparison. Hope you enjoy this almost virgin image.

I really like this one . It looks as though it's getting dusk and the rocks are fighting for the attention of the sun.Very pretty Doug.

Stunning ... the cobalt blue sky really sets off the large boulders nicely. I love the desolate look to the terrain. A fantastic capture Doug & thanks for sharing this.

Your right the truck did give a better perspective, but I've put them both on screen for comparison and I favor this image over "End Of The Road". Of course my bias towards color over B&W may be slanting my judgement. Both pictures are beauties Doug, but when it comes to capturing unique scenes such as these wondrous boulders ... I think the less signs of the modern day ... the better.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

It's a great shot Doug and the lighting and depth are magnificant. On my screen the only issue is at the top right it's a little too dark but it's a great shot. Thanks for posting this. Anita

This is a terrific landscape photo and the colors are stunning. There may be just a touch too much contrast for me, though. Otherwise I gave it a very high vote.
