Shell bed.

That's pretty cool. Reminds me of an image I took of dried mud:

There was a lot of it:

Good stuff Nathan. Really like the roof shot and the doors shot from Bodie. I need to get up there sometime.

Also in the Mojave

This photo sucks in a lot of ways, but it certainly tells a story

Lexington Reservoir

Just had to include this one - a different Aeromotor from earlier in the thread! (Watsonville, CA)

Monterey, CA - King of the World

We had this entire beach to ourselves... Hwy 1 South of Half Moon Bay

Sadly, this one is not edited. At all.

Joash- that is a SWEET comp!

The blue tone gives it a nice moody feel but I would like to see what a real contrasty b&w looks like.

"Creamtone" since I like it better than regular black and white. I edited it a little differently making it look drawn and painted. Theres a texture to it, especially at original size.

Joash, I'm feeling that shot, well done.

Thanks Aaron, Trevor. Tone choice was spur of the moment , as is evident, I don't like spending too much time and effort in post.
The compositional elements probably work in conveying the mood even without that slight blue tone.
How amazing though that unlike a painting, you can go back and re process...I'll get to it post-haste
