Impressive photo..great shot! :)
Very beautiful .. bravo !

Love that sky and silhouette! Hope you had fun today.
LOL it looks that you like to be around in ghost town areas! Beautiful old camera photography with this real brilliant contrast between the background and the miner! What I like as well is the color difference between the wonderful sky and the red desert! Excellent atmosphere and light setting! V
this one's very special to me, Kimmers...got a special place in my heart for miners. well, i'm assuming these miners were mining for gold...doesn't matter though. so many people in my family are coalminers. that silhoutte against that gorgeous sky is sooooooooo beautiful!!!! and it carries such nostalgia. when i look at this, i can't help but feel so grateful and thankful for all those settlers who came before us and established this country. and i also feel much love in my heart for people like my uncles and other family members who have done back breaking work like this. Looking at the man there...you get a sense how tired he is...just leaning on his shovel. sigh. i also love the depth you got in this one...the way the clouds just seem to go on forever...
You always find the drama and story in everything you shoot. This one is so interesting with the brilliant colored sky and miner silhouette. Has a emotional feel that I like very much. :o) CC
Well seen and captured :)
very cool.......!
It looks more like a silhouette of a cowhand. But surely a beautiful photo - the sky, the clouds, and the amazing silhouette. Next time tell your kids that its "Black Bart," the renegade who ate children who whined!!! :) Hey, kids love a good story! Embelish!
Great shot!
