This is a really beautiful vista. The warm light and colors are splendid. Even though the place is so desolate there is something really beautiful about it.

Wow, minus the hint of green vegetation and blue sky above, this could be a Mars-scape, or if in desat mode, a moonscape. Yes, earth does have its own places of desolate beauty.

Definately a dry looking place, but you have captured it with beauty. Love the haze..... great colours and lighting.

Great colors Craig, and just a perfect exposure. It really does look like a place devoid of life.
cheers

These just keep getting better. The detail in the foreground and the depth really accentuate the sense of size and the desolateness of the environment.

Stunning photo, and it does look like Mars, what was the temp while you were there ?

@observing: I was there mid March. Daytime temps were in the low 80s. I'll be going back again next year but in February when the daytime temps are in the 70s.
