Trying to get away

Here's another one from my trip to the Oregon Outback: This is the sun setting behind the Steens Mountains, with the Alvord Desert playa in the foreground.

 

This was only my second visit to this area, and unlike last time (which was in late July), the playa really gleamed in the sunlight. Also, perhaps because it was still spring, much of the desert surface hadn't yet developed the deep cracks that I usually see in photos, so I had to hunt around for them a bit. Luckily I found these little dry rivulets, which made for amazing leading lines.

 

I've been reworking the galleries in my website recently. My previous galleries could not be viewed on Android mobile devices, and even though my new galleries are still not responsive, they at least can be viewed using all manner of mobile device. At least I think so, anyway. Let me know if I'm wrong.

 

Thanks for checking out the photo!
