I have never seen a vulture carry a stick that large for his nest :o

Serendipity is the mother of great photography. Nat Geo shooters don't rely so much on luck as they do on full immersion by using a motor drive that covers a subject like a Gatling Gun. In the wake of a barrage of Kodachrome will be, hopefully, the Defining Moment that will make the cover.
Great photos are more often a result of post-processing evaluation than previsualization and planning.
Fire at will..........

Thanks Woody, but there is a major flaw in that image. Surprised no one mentioned it.
I think you might like some of the recent blog pics.
Digital cameras are terrific, no need to bracket, buy Extachrome film for warmth or carry a bunch of filters for example. And if it isn't perfect, you can manipulate it w/ photoshop or gimp. And create special effects like this mirror/beach image, which is actually 2 photos and line drawing.

Oh, I thought it was showing an illegal activity (driving on the beach) LOL!

Nice photos... if not way bigger than Nomad's requested 800 pixel limits!

Thanks Willy... I would like to see photos of your Willys Wagon here.

Thanks David. Actually, there has been a local effort to prevent driving on that beach - broken glass has been placed on all the trails.

Boy, that's a real smart idea:light::lol:

If Mexico used broken glass and plastic bags as its basis for its currency, it would be the wealthiest nation on earth ...:biggrin:

Richard, maybe you were being sarcastic....if not, also keep an eye open for barbed wire, nails, and chollo...






In the meantime.... (south of Mulege):
