Title: My pics from the Elk hunt.....
Post by: teesquare on November 26, 2016, 08:40:19 PM
finally got some of them reduced to a  size that will work here. These are not "fixed", straightened or cropped. Just jpegs out of the camera.
The colors of the West are sometimes almost magical. Early morning, and late evening can be spectacular. Hope you like these

Very nice pics Tim! :thumbup:
And as nice as they are, I'm sure the pics didn't do the natural beauty justice!

Thanks Gene..many more to come. You are right - the colors in the pictures never live up to the real world.

Cottonwoods turning yellow in the fall framed the colors of the cliffs.

Thanks Tom!
SO  we have arrived at the hunting lodge, outside of Clayton NM. Looking north- this is "Rabbit Ear Mountain. Looks really small? You may be surprised how far away it is - and how big it is when you get closer to it. It - like many other mountains in this region are ancient dead volcanos that "blew out". That is why the large void in the middle of it exists.

See what I mean about the sunrise ? That is Rabbit Ear to the west in the first pic as we drive north. Look at the color of that field. It is the sun....

Glad to share these with you all. I so needed that big sky to clear my head Hub. It is my catharsis.

I just pulled a few out to resize them and post.  When I finish the adjusting and culling I will put them in a file on SmugMug.com and post the direct link here.

I'm guessing that's like chicken fried steak but with extra gravy.

You were likely a fellow victim ( quite often in my case...) of the dreaded - and explicative outburst generating "auto correct"....I sincerely hope that the idiot who invented that dastardly program, returns to the village of his accidental and father-less birth, and the local constabulary beat him every moment he pokes his head outside his hovel. May all of his children be born naked and bald-headed....

o.k....I feel better now.... ;) :D :D :D

It appears that one of "Otto" Correct's pseudonyms is "Paul Duro."
