Description

Earlier this year, on my way back from Death Valley, I stopped to have lunch and take a few pictures of a historical site in Nevada called Palmetto. A once large mining area, now just brick ruins. I did not notice the angel overhead until I was going through the pictures months later. This is also made from a RAW file, which I was able to bring out the foreground colors. I also upped the color and contrast of the sky to bring out the angel's features. Thanks for viewing!

Takes me back to my childhood when I'd spend hours looking at clouds and the ever forming images they would present. Gooo eye finding this one and nice postwork. : )

Even without the Angel it would have been a beautiful shot.

There is an old Wells Fargo stagecoach station in the high desert outside of Phoenix that is much like this. The stone construction is fabulous. Great shot and so glad to see you!
