Thomas, this is a really nice image. Great comp. Congratulations! #9635747Thomas E. Hinds August 27, 2011
Thanks very much, Linda, and Tad! Much appreciated. This area is located east of Raton, NM, in the high prairie, a place like no other in New Mexico. Plateaus and mesas everywhere with the Rockies in the distance. I think it would be a great area for a photographer to live and capture the countless scenes. #9636696ALLEN O. HOWARD August 27, 2011
