Late Winter Clouds Over Taos

by John Hamilton Farr on March 11, 2010 · 7 comments

Quite often I drop whatever I’m doing and walk outside with my camera. To get this shot and today’s FotoFeed, I had to hike a couple hundred yards through the mud and cactus in my Crocs twice, but it was worth it.

late winter clouds over Taos, New Mexico

The scale is what constantly gets me. The overwhelming immensity of it all.

Well, I seem to be here!
