Thanks Ken.

I actually took several like that one that day. It you let your eye follow into the distance the highway winds far below. The highway leaves El Rosario, crosses that large arroyo with a bridge and soon starts to parallel a huge arroyo to it's left.

I just started wandering around, feeling really good, but without an idea of what to shoot. I hiked up into the hills shooting pictures here and there but not sure what I wanted. But with each shot it became clearer.

Here is another idea I worked with but later decided it wasn't as good as the one I posted.

Well said Skipjack. This shot was just a pull off the side of the road.........of course it was of Tres Virgins. A vista I never tire of looking at.

I know that spot well, Ken, and I like it as well.

Here's how it looks with light going down.

I struggle when driving Baja. I have to keep reminding myself to focus on the road and stop listening to the conversations that are going on between the cacti!
