Description
After the hawk I posted yesterday flew off from the next telephone pole, he flew in front of me in the same patch of blue sky.
But I wanted you to see where he was flying, so I took a picture of the landscape, and then "lowered" in hawk into that image.
The landscape is the White Sands Missile Range, in New Mexico, and just a couple of miles behind that small red and white water
tower in the center of the image is The Trinity Site, where J. Robert Oppenheimer and his crew detonated the first atomic bomb
on July 16, 1945, and afterward said "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds", a misquote from Hindu scripture. It is only
open on two days a year, and anyone can go, as we did 10 or 12 years ago, and stand on the very spot where the bomb went off.
Thanks very kindly for stopping to have a look, and thank you very much for your recent generous comments!

Very interesting intro Maria, thanks for taking the time. This is an excellent in flight capture and I am sure if I tried it would just be a blur. You are an excellent photographer, and the bright blue sky looks awesome above a relatively baron landscape. Hugs Jane xx
A wonderful landscape, Maria. So perfect with the hawk included. Have a beautiful and peaceful day. Hugs. Diane. xx
Excellent effect with the landscape. It's not often that you can see them fly that low, I guess.
Impressive place and a wonderful bird!!
Good job of lowering, very hard to tell. ;'] Great capture on both counts.
Very nice composition with this landscape and hawk ! Good day :)
Can you hear the field mice, garder snakes and pocket gophers running for cover? I can, but just barely over the sound of the rustling grasses moving with the gentle breeze. :-) Excellent.

Breathtaking landscape and amazing capture of the bird. And truely I was in a hurry and began my comment without reading. It started with "This just blows me away". I then read the fascinating text and thought maybe I should re-write. Amazing place!

A lovely capture of this beautiful hawk and the background has a very illustrious past.
Beautiful picture. Todd
Fine POV, DOF and colors displayed in this terrific capture of the magnificent raptor soaring above the radioactive plains of the White Sands Missile Range in search of prey. For whatever it's worth, my brother lives in Santa Fe, NM.
An actual "in the wild shot"? Wonderful.
