I like how you keep your board game going through all these topics with your lead-in graphic. Another neat topic and starter images. I like the view in the Great Sand Dunes shot.

Yes, both were giving me the “finger”—but I didn’t take it personally!Those Saguaro in the Colossal Cave Park image appear to be making a personal statement.

Very beautiful desert images Alan! The Death Valley and Toadstools are perhaps my favorites—I also love the color layers depicted in the Bisti image—nice! The San Rafael Swell image’s composition is well framed. The Painted Hills do seem to be with the beautiful warm colors in the midst of green. Love them all and thank you for sharing Alan!

I thought it but you expressed it so much better than my thoughts!Those Saguaro in the Colossal Cave Park image appear to be making a personal statement.

I love your imagination John.. Superb intro graphics and wonderful examples for us to follow.
We have a couple of areas in Saskatchewan that are desert-like. One is way up north and I have not been to that one. The closest one is about a two hour drive away and I have been there. It is called the Great Sand Hills and is a very unique area with plants and animals found nowhere else in the area.
This is ranching country with a strong cowboy presence and people put old boots on this structure.

Trent, I love the Sand Hills landscape you shared with the very blue sky and desert below—nice! I love the “Boot Hill” structure, from this viewpoint some appear wearable! (Probably none with my size—14!)

Craig, thank you for sharing these five beautiful desert images—very beautiful! I love the colors and layers in “Uplift”—very nice and a favorite. I love the wide expanse captured in the Great South Desert—another favorite. “Jagged Edge” maybe my favorite of favorites, great capture—and title! Of course, “Backside of Nowhere” with the perfect framing with the two predominant colors—sky and distant mountain paired with the monochomatic foreground of browns—again love the title! I also love the view captured in “The Goblin’s Back”—very nice as well.

Beautiful choice Michael—wonderful light captured with good composition! The rabbitbrush(?) provides a beautiful and colorful foreground. Thank you for sharing.

Great panoramas Larry! I love the Painted Desert image with its wide expanse and depth captured—great image! Love the reds and blues.Here are a couple from my archive:
The Painted Desert in Arizona. 2 frame landscape pano
Great Sand Dunes in southern Colorado. 3 frame landscape pano
Again in the Great Sand Dunes Park, the beautiful expanse of the Great Sand Dunes is captured from this distant viewpoint—nice. I love both of these images Larry…and thank you for sharing.
