Somewhere in the desert by orangecrush

Somewhere in the desert

I took this shot on my trip through the desert. This was one of ten stops that I made whilst everyone waited as I pulled over to take a shot...eleven...twelve...well, anyway it was one of the "I gotta pull over and shoot that" moments!
I hope everyone is having a good week! Its steamy hot here!
Fantastic FAV

Woooow....this is unreal...worth making everyone wait :P
August 15th, 2012  
Definitely worth the wait! Similar on our recent holiday with kids going 'not again Mum!' but they are nevertheless very patient with me! Beautiful shot. Reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for sharing. FAV!
August 15th, 2012  
Dang! That's certainly worth a few minutes delay in your travels. I'd sacrice a whole day for that shot!

Excellent scenery Jerry! Fav!
August 15th, 2012  
you can never stop at just 10 shots Jerry..lol. The rusty old wheel looking thing really adds interest to the amazing landscape.

Wow, love the small glimpse I have seen of your work. This one was well worth the stop and the groans :)
August 15th, 2012  
Haha! I know that feeling (think all us 365ers do!) My husband is very long suffering and slightly impatient... my kids are better and more understanding!
August 15th, 2012  
Stunning, Jerry!
August 15th, 2012  
Those mountains are incredible. Absolutely gorgeous.
August 15th, 2012  
wonderful scenery and clouds, those rusty iron wheels are a great focal point - at least when you keep pulling over the kids are whining they need to stop and get out as often
August 15th, 2012  
This... is beautiful processing, Jerry. Not overdone and just bringing out the right details. Great shot. Lovely image.
August 15th, 2012  
Yes Jerry, let 'em wait a few minutes to record an image that will last a lifetime! A great combination of a single man-made object against the vastness of nature..
August 15th, 2012

beautiful. That's some big wheel. I wonder if it's one of those spools that powerlines come wound on. When they were done hanging the lines, they abandoned the spool.
