      This is a truly insperational photograph, the way the light shows off the texture of the landscape is just stunning, together with the subtle colour and perfect composition makes this one ofthe best images i have come across in FLICKR's vast library. Nice one...it goes in my favourites.

      Great shot of Stinson! This picture really shows how beautiful Marin County is!

    28. photonymous (73 months ago | reply)

      This is aesthetically great, but I strongly suspect some HDR-like techniques were used to achieve the effect.
