  2. Beautiful!
    I grew up in New Mexico — in Los Alamos — not the desert.

    Merry Christmas and thanks for the awesome photos!

  12. En fortsatt god jul ønskes dere der bort høgget også :-)
    Et spennende vakkert bilde som jeg var heeeeelt sikker på var snø. Og så tok jeg feil. Flott med den enslige planten som står der og gir liv til det knall hvite og blå. Nydelige farger og nyanser.
    Takk for et spennende bloggeår. Jeg har lært mye av dere – og dere har gitt mye glede. Alt godt ønskes for neste år!

  16. Det ser faktisk ut som snø. Regner med at det hadde kladdet godt hvis man hadde smørt med klister å prøvd langrennsskiene der :)
    Flott komponert bilde!

    Ha en fortsatt fin jul begge to.

    John — December 25th, 2008 at 15:43

  26. Excellent shot. Glad you didn’t get blown up while making it.

    Love how you resisted the temptation to clamp down on the highlights. That would have been my tendency but I think it looks much better this way. Nice scene. Have always loved the desert.
