Square Tower House
I was driving around Mesa Verde National Park this afternoon on the Mesa Top Loop, which is closed at sunset, so I was in a hurry. I walked down the trail to the viewpoint for Square Tower House and realized two things - the light was PERFECT, and I had my 200 zoom lens on my camera, which wasn't giving me sufficient depth of field. So I ran back to the Jeep (with Cleo my dog - shhh, don't tell the Park Service, we had the place to ourselves) swapped lenses, put Cleo in the Jeep, and ran back. I'm pretty happy with the results! I tried to run it through Photoshop just now, and decided that the original image was better than anything Photoshop could do to it, so here it is:

Nice work! Thanks.

That is a spectacular site, one that I'd love to visit some day.

2. Love it /love it/love it.
Perfect just like you say! I was fortunate enough to be there last May.
I was such a hog then posting photos from my trip, I had to stop sometime, so I never posted any from there.
But later today I'll post one of the same scene in the day's normal light, if you don't mind.

This is wonderful

5. I'll look forward to seeing it, Mira.
I took a bunch of the other sites too, but they weren't as neat, lightwise.
