Very cool shadow pattern! I couldn't work out the bright lines at first - their sharpish boundaries had me thinking they were painted lines but that didn't make sense. Then the tell tale deviations where obstacles intercepted or distorted their form became apparent here and there Applause.

Richly endowed with reflections; wondering if the darks could be lifted without degrading reflection impact.

This one. The darks seem very dark and this image reveals more to me.

Lots of potential for root canal work

So pleased you posted these. I can't get out into the desert for a while, so these ease the pain. Looks like a nice little uphill section ahead - good practice for handbrake hill start Interesting how the GR has rendered the landscape so much greener - was this a quirk of its WB setting - possibly a response to windscreen reflections and/or tinting?

And there they are! Reflections Just squeezed in the brake lights! Nice meandering of the trail as it heads up slope, and I like seeing the vehicles ahead - for photo purposes I'd suggest having head and tail lights on the whole time. It's good for safety too I know, but I have my photo hat on atm. This and the first pic are my favourites.

Your Jeep is too clean! But I suspect you may have polished the bonnet in case some nice reflections came along lol. Amazing expanse of cacti- can't help but think there's photo potential for them with stars/trails behind/beside them, assuming there's an opportunity close by to escape the city light dome.

Yeay, here we go. Spot-on comp: a little bit of bonnet for context; road on the left, with the embankment leading abruptly up the slope, with those intriguing cacti partly silhouetted. Seems to encapsulate an enjoyable "bush" drive.

You know I'm a sucker for this arid landscape of yours. Did you venture out to the end of this point? I can't do that sort of thing anymore; I get a brain block at any hint of fall potential, even stock grids - my brain just says no and no amount of urging will get my feet further forward

lol, what an expression!
