Lights Out for Darker Skies

Title from a song on the new British Sea Power CD. Had a foggy morning this weekend and the refuge roads are finally open (hunting season is over). Wheeler Wildlife Refuge. Shot at f22 using neutral density filter- dont ask why; just too lazy to take it off.

I really dig this, Lee. It's like a layered desert or something. Nicely done.

I love the road, that earthy orange mud splitting the short grass is great.

> The foreground colors, being so vivid and vibrant, cause the tree to take on amore ghostly appearance. Interesting how the foreground and the background are composed of two different atmospheres.

It looks like the road leads up to a hole in the sky. Very cool.

Your creative photographer's eye makes me sick ;-)

This is too awesome in my opinion, a real southern beauty.

Sweet picture Lee! I look for these places, but I find that there's always a trailer, or something that jacks up focal point.
