Wow. Dramatic contextual landscaping. Nice to a discrete peep of the road lower left. Think of the night shots (stars) you'll be able to get!

Whoa! Adventurous HDR or sensor overload from the shadows?

Second bite. Appeal hasn't diminished.

Stunning arid zone clarity and colours. Wonder if clouds will be a bit scarcer than at the coast.

like a climb to get the "ring"

yea nice light,

kind of scene I would have missed a good shot of

I do like this one. Some pretty impressive scenery on offer, cant wait to see more.

The darker foreground really adds a sense of foreboding or menace to the rock stairs as you climb up to the starburst at the top.

Surprised and pleased you've been able to venture out like this so soon. Keep this up and you can get rid of the gym! Do those slabs move or has someone added a bit of mortar? - my knees are wary.
Thanks for the map link - I nearly added a request for one earlier but let it go in deference to your currently pressured existence - so I appreciate the link even more.
