Throwback

somewhat reminiscent of the 2006 Nebraska snap that got a runner up in a AAA contest.  Both happenstance, this on the way to Great Sand Dunes National Park the Nebraska one en route to the Ogalalla National Grasslands.  I guess I get better stuff by accident on the way to to places that only sometimes work for me.

Off CO 17 on LN6N north of Alamosa.  5D Mk II, 17-40mm f/4L @40mm, ISO 100, f/8.0, three shot HDR, handheld, out the Hertz SUV window.

Off NE 2, West of Hemingford, NE, ZCBJ Lodge #298, 5D with 17-40mm f/4L @ 40mm, ISO 100, f/16, on the Gitzo, July '06.

Great Sand Dunes National Park

At the foot of the Sangre de Christo Mountains, NE of Alamosa, CO.  Highest dunes are 750' tall.  A very, very blustery, high degree day.

7D, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L.  Focal lengths from 280 to 640 35mm equivalent.  Three now, more later.
