"The Road is Long"
Nikon D2X, Tamron 14mm F2.8
This was shot at the "Race Track" in Death Valley. These rocks mysteriously move long distances across the lakebed leaving long trails in the dried lakebed. I think the Aliens do it myself... Theories include high winds on a icy wet and very slippery lake bed in the middle of winter, but some of these rocks weigh several hundred pounds.

Steve,
What a great picture. The contrasting of colors and texture, the shadows and then the idea behind "who moved the rock' makes this a wonderful picture to view for a long time.

Yes, intriquing and mysterious indeed. The story in the picture is self-explanatory too. Good catch!

I love this picture. Any processing needed on this picture?
The whole reason why I picked up my Tamron 12-24mm is to be able to take pictures just like this. We'll see when I have some time.
Benson,
thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. This picture was shot in Raw so the usual color balance, exposure choices were made. I then adjusted the color balance a bit more in Photoshop, added a softlight, 50% opacity, fill with neutral grey layer and used it to darken the sky a bit. finished up with a 70% sharpening using unsharp mask (.7 radius, 0 threshold).
