Great images Ken.

I really like the one entitled 'Aidas grave'. I guess it's my Slavic blood or something. Wasn't that the owner of that ranch in San Pedro de Martir? Anyway the picture has a sort of wistful feel to it. You know, the land with the road beyond lasts forever and Aida was part of it at one time. I like it a lot. It has an Irish feel to it.

Also, the one "On the Road". Every baja traveler must feel a tug when they look at that one. The road leading to adventure with the brooding sky and that grand landscape. It's what we're all looking for actually.

I like the others also but these two strike me more at this time. Hope you don't mind my commenting how I feel about your shots.

Wow!

Ken, I'm already in Baja, but still you make me want to go there.

Amazing pictures, as always....

Great treat Ken!

My guess for photo #1 (old vineyard) is San Ignacio...

I just finished reading Bruce Berger's Almost an Island chapter on San Ignacio and the wine vineyards there stuck in my mind!

Thanks all for the kind words. Skipjack that is in fact Aida Meling's grave on a hill above Meling Ranch. She was an amazing woman. Right on David, it is the old vineyard on the left side of the road as you drive/walk into San Ignacio, about halfway between the La Pinta and the town square. I've always thought it was beautiful in a creepy kind of way.

Fantastic photos Ken. Say - how do you format these photos so they're all the same size. AND you included more than 1 photo per posting. Could use some help on that one.
Again.....great photos. It's fun looking at your pictures.

Bajalover - here's how I do it. First I resize the jpeg image so that the maximum size is exactly 800 pixels, either horizontal or vertical. Then I reduce the resolution until the file size is about 75-100KB. For that I use the Adobe/Macromedia program "Fireworks" but many other programs will make those adjustments. Then I upload the adjusted image files into my album in Photobucket, one of many image storing websites. For each image I want to appear in the Nomad post, I copy the Photobucket filename and paste it into the post. Photobucket makes it very easy to copy the filename with just one click. You can copy and paste as many images as you want into the post. So the image files are actually on the Photobucket website, they don't take up any space on the Nomad website. Let me know if that is not clear. ++Ken++
