Happy Birthday dear Chip!!! Wishing you the very best for the year to come!
I was paging through my images looking for something special for you and kept on coming back to my Namib desert images! I know that the vast, acrid space speaks to you too - across oceans and continents! I truly hope we can someday visit the Namib together! :)
Hugs, Carin xx

Frightenly empty but very beautiful.
Lovely vast open spaces, miles from anyone, wonderful!!!!
Very beautiful scene! Great dedication
WHat a lovely view. Love the rocks.
Great POV and perspective!!
Outstanding composition and very nice birthday wish. :)
I like the composition of this, an interestingly full of nothing landscape. I wanted to say the pic is grainy but thought perhaps that might have been too subtle!! Lol.
Another wonderful gift for Chip---how great it would be to see the places we all live---!! Happy Birthday, Chip!!
Very well composed Carin. Nice work.
A landscape to infinite (and beyond)
Very lovely wiev !Nice birthday wish !
Wonderful, with the focus returning to that rock at the bottom; happy birthday Chip!
fantastic & fascinating shot ! just right for Chipka :) Happy Birthday
wonderful shot!
Gosh, not like you can walk that barefoot, huh? But I see the tire tracks... Wonderful view!
Oh I can really dig the POV, DOF, and especially the myriad of textures in this excellent composition, Carin! Flip-flops not allowed on this surface.
Marvelous shot!
Wonderful image and dedication! Beautiful details, textures and colors! Excellent POV, with the wide expanse of desert leading to the distant mountains. Happy Birthday Chip!
This is what I imagine it would be like standing on the surface of Mars. Superb shot!
A stunning capture and dedication for Chipka,Carin.
Stunningly detailed image Carin, and I LOVE the frame you made for it.. Excellent work.. A super dedication for Chip... Happy Birthday Chip! Rob
bonne photo!!
OOOH! My favorite desert! OK, I haven't been there yet, but it's still my favorite desert. I can even forgive it for not having any woodlice, but it might have something interesting and with lots of legs, I just hope it isn't poisonous too. This is quite nice. I love the vastness; it just goes on, and on, and on (and on some more.) And yeah, I agree that it's probably not too friendly to flip-flops, but you never know. I love the foreground rock and the mountains in the background; they come together perfectly, especially with the darkness of the rock and the increasing paleness of the gritty, pebbly sand. It does look a bit Mars-like too, only warmer. Needless to say, I love this shot, and yeah...I really wanna see that desert, and smell it too...there's always something about the smell of a place that makes it immediate and somehow real. Thank you for the birthday dedication! This is quite a marvelous one, and most-definitely a favorite!
Very nice B-day dedication Carin!
Reminds me a little of our own Death Valley. Outstanding composition and great birthday dedication.
Wonderful shot!!!
Great picture and wonderful dedi!
I can just smell the clean air... Great dedication, Clive
What a great image! Happy Birthday to Chip!
Been falling a bit behind on my comments again. This is a grand scene. My desert experiences are all from Southern California, Nevada and Arizona. The amazing thing to me is how much life there really is in what looks like a vast wasteland to others. I'll bet your scene is teaming with life...particularly at night. I like the way you've accented the open spaces. Mighty fine photo Carin:) I am sure this was right up Chip's alley...so much different from Chicago!
