Some more photo-geekiness for you all: The horses were a LONG way away from me when I saw this scene unfolding. If the best camera is the one you have in your hand, the best composition is what you have in your viewfinder, at any distance.
Buckeye’s band watches a band led by Lieutenant Tenaz up a ridge. Buckeye’s had already been to water and had left, and Tenaz and family were on their way to water.
All the layers of canyon rimrocks and ridges of northern Disappointment Valley and all the way to Utah’s La Sal Mountains look compressed and so *right there* because of my long lens.
That’s a lotta-lotta country … the most magical, of course, the closest at hand. 🙂
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
A “lotta lotta” everything wonderful, TJ – everything that makes the Basin so magnificent!
Pretty awesome, right? 🙂
Just beautiful! Would make another great puzzle!
I bet that’s right … all those colors and textures!
This photo looks like a Wilson Hurley painting…https://artusa.com/artist/wilson-hurley/
Thank you!
Such fun to imagine the scene unfolding there…really glad there is still easily accessible water !
Me, too. We need rain!!
That is the most beautiful picture! It should be a painting on someone’s wall.
Or a photo … printed and on my wall! 🙂
The best camera IS the one in your hand.
I’m lucky to have a really great camera and lens. 😉
And smart to take it with you. I have one too, not super great, but better than my phone. I never take it out.
I never go to the basin without my camera. 🙂 I rarely leave home without it. My phone is sometimes more handy … and/or easily accessible!
I love all the colors to see in this pic.
The horses are aware and have there own colors to show.
Thanks for this!
We have such beauty right at our doorstep here in the Southwest. … All over the world, of course, but our little “corner” is special. 🙂
