It gives me the feeling of complete isolation... I like it.

I can imagine standing there and feeling totally alone (in an almost eerie silence), outside of the single bird riding the air currents. Nice contemplative moment evoked from the shot John.

Very excellent John!

I just love the composition and think it adds to the tranquility invoked by the image:
Just the right amount of sky,
The diagonal in the foreground,
The tree/bush on the right in the LR golden third.
Very nice!

All I can think about is...Man that would hurt to fall off that hill...it's a long way down...

Great shot...let's your imagination play...!!!

Thanks, everyone! This was shot from the rim of another dormant volcano. My little Panasonic LX3 did a pretty job.

I like it. It loooks like the Moon except for the brush in the foreground.

I like it, very much.

I like it.

That looks like the view from atop Capulin Volcano in Capulin Volcano National Monument

It sure is. You can see for miles on a clear day. I'd love to make the same shot with snow. That would be awesome.

Is this Earth? Looks like a place you can hear everyone of your thoughts. Very nice.
