The sun was just breaking out and I pulled over to take off my jacket somewhere south of Lake Chapala. That lone boojum looked like a BW shot.

Ken - This is perhaps my favorite picture of yours from this trip South.
It has the look of a postcard from long long ago. Well done!

Love that picture. BW has its purpose and you used it wisely.

Thanks all for the comments.

Leo,

You are absolutely right. I find about one out of a hundred captures suitable for a BW conversion.

I love the fog crawling over the mountain on little lizard bellies.

Perfectly taken photo. It has the look of a prehistoric landscape millions of years ago.
