  Thanks, Jim and Sandy. I took a lot of shots of this place, but the sky was very picturesque and adds to the openness, along with the wheat fields. As an aside, an image of this location won a Finalist in Smithsonian's annual photo contest this year (not my shot, unfortunately, LOL). There were 30,000 shots from 92 countries submitted to Smithsonian and only 16 made Finalist or winners. In an amazing small world story, when my wife, a friend of ours and I were photographing this location, the guy who took the Smithsonian shot actually saw us and stopped to say hi...!

  I like how you composed this so that powerful sky dwarfs the old buildings, John, wonderful colors and sense of scale here!

  Thx, Carol! The cloud formation almost gave the impression of circling and highlighting the building.

  Thx, Sandra. I looked at your gallery and saw your nice shots of the Navajo bridge and that general area. Two years ago, we took a motorcycle (plus photography) tour through Utah and went over that bridge. It was about 104 degrees when we were there...we missed the A/C in our car! John
