Just wonderful Don. In my own work I am really intrigued with the patterns and movement that agricultural activities create and suggest and you have used that beautifully here. all that and a sense of the quiet stillness of dawn. well done!

Nice of you to say, Triecia--thanks very much.

You've certainly conveyed that awesome sense of the 'ride' and the smallness that is us. Love those late afternoon shadows.

I look forward to seeing "your view" every day. But today, couldn't resist telling you how gorgeous this one is. And it looks like I'm not alone. You've really expressed the exquisite beauty of being human and our connection to the earth.
Thank you!

Holy Moley. That's terrific, Don.

Those patterns in the plowed field were what drew me to this scene in the first place, Silvina. Thanks.

2008-02-28T20:53:00.000-08:00

I feel like I'm there.
Another thing that makes you realize how small we are, is looking at the night sky. I liked your painting of the eclipse.

2008-02-28T18:08:00.000-08:00

There's so much I like about this. I'll focus on one thing... the diagonal stripes crossed by vertical tire tracks that lead the eye further in to the landscape.

I'm not even going to mention the brilliant peach foothills sandwiched between blues.

This one is stunning.

Frank, I sure appreciate your words. I'd like to say I had seen the Sagan video "billions and billions" of times, but I had not. Thanks for the link--a reminder of our place in this astonishing universe.

2008-02-28T10:12:00.000-08:00

Bill, you live in a beautiful place. It's great to have those wide open vistas. Thanks for commenting.

2008-02-28T10:10:00.000-08:00

Suzanne, the routine aspect of our daily lives takes precedence much of the time, doesn't it? Those moments of clarity--the sense of one's participation in a great and awesome mystery--are precious.

Good one Don. I'll usually read what you have to say before I click to enlarge. This time I went right to the click. Very intriguing lines and design. Love all that shadow up front.
Have you seen the Carl Sagan pale blue dot video?
It fits in with your thoughts on this one.

Wonderful!

I live just north west of Denver, and every day, I watch the sun rise and fall on the mountains. Although you are looking at different mountains, you have captured the light and shadows perfectly.

Well done!

Nice! Those are great moments - when we realize that we're on a planet, hurtling through space.
