Fine shot! Someone does a good job on the road.
You might think differently if you'd driven that road a couple days ago. I expect you're no stranger to washboarded roads, but even so, I bet you'd find this one 'memorable.'

Got a fair idea, though I take it easy on the old pickup! Sideways pretty quick.

Beautiful image - lovely contrast between the warm landscape and the cool shades in the sky!

Dramatic sky! Is it "real"?
I also found it interesting to see in this desert looking landscape a green area!Poul.

Yes, the sky is actual and real. Though its been 'processed' --as have any number of select portions of the image-- to accentuate (rather than make gaudy or outlandish), it is the sky that was there at the time.

Pleased you note the warm/cool contrasts, but there are a number of other 'contrasts' as well. Whenever possible, I look for 'thematic' contrasts among the elements in a shot as well. Fence on one side of the road that 'contains' the ranch ('civilization') -vs- unfenced open range (the 'wild') on the opposite side. Brightest portion (briefly sunlit hills) abut the darkest portion of the backdrop. Other 'contrasts' --or more accurately, 'opposing correlates'-- too, each 'balancing' the other out, or 'equalizing' the other. My purposes in looking for and shooting such relationships are my own, and whether anyone 'gets' them or not is probably not important to them, but it is to me.
There's more to 'contrast' than light/dark, warm/cool.

Again you provide foreground, light interplay and your own view of the world dramatically, Jim!

A very interesting story about Peter Lawson preserving over 1,000 acres for natural ecology studies.
