Thanks so much, Tammy, for your visits! #9512514

Val Feldman level-deluxe July 07, 2011

What a magnificent piece of eons of time and the elements at work here, Thomas...it must tower over the landscape and bet it can be seen for miles. Your treatment of the warm earth tones of NM is perfect for this! (Hope you're doing fine and the fires are still miles away from your area...I feel for all living things in the way of those still raging fires, tho. Hoping La Nina releases it's hold on the SW soon! - Take care, my friend!) #9513392

Thanks you very much, Val, and Debby! I am greatly flattered by your words! I'm so glad you like this image of Shiprock Peak! I so admire both of your galleries' images and have for a long time! And, yes Val, this peak does tower over the high flatlands and can be seen for over fifty miles away (maybe even more like eighty miles away)! There is an almost palpable mystical quality to the area. It is a sacred place to the Native Americans on whose reservation the peak exists. Something different emanates from the area... some kind of vibe. I can't really explain... #9514771

I thought you had taken this during fire season, but I see it's from winter. Wonderful image, Thomas! I like the mystic feeling and the colors. #9520267

Nice image Thomas. I love this rock/peak. I hope I can make it there to see it sometime. #9635754

Thomas E. Hinds August 27, 2011

Thanks very much, Tad! You will love the look of it should you get there. You probably know where it is, not far from the four corners, south of Shiprock a few miles. Knowing your work, you'll capture a spectacular image of it. Morning is better overall, though looking from the west is really different as well. Thanks again! #9636672

Patricia A. Casey level-deluxe August 27, 2011
