Your cool photo made me to examine very carefully what to find in this scenery. I like it.

Keep showing me your death valley stuff - and I'm going to call you one day, and ask to tag along next time you go south. Great stuff. I'm in the bay area - and that's not an idle threat to follow you about. Great stuff here! I love the composition and contrast in this image.

@Bill: I'm considering hosting some workshops in Death Valley next February(when temperatures are perfect)! Stay tuned for more information in a few weeks. Would be happy to have you along Bill.

A wonderful composition from this exceptional landscape. So simple but immensely powerful.

Wow-wow and WOW ! When the image appeared on my laptop I thought it was plain rocks, and then these ghostly lil'huts full of stories & history ! One of my fav pic at your place Craig, and what a good idea not to have crop but keep the vast upper part***

These places carry so much history packed into their comparatively short time of occupation and it sure lingers around in this photograph. Like how you have framed them in that vast landscape.

Wonderful !! I could not expect to see anything on the bottom of the picture, thinking - just cool texture ...but When whole picture shows with these houses ... then, I said - oh, my - what a super perspective, awesome shot !

I like the composition - the buildings look dwarfed, add sense of the vastness of the surroundings.

Wow!!! Love the scope of depth with the pop of colour in the buildings to the monotone of the mountain. Excellent, Craig!!

Beau contraste entre les construction humaines et la nature qui reprend ses droits.
