I have another post relating to the Twin Tanks area in the can. That one will include some rock art. If you do go out to the Twin Tanks area, please be careful. It's very easy get lost, hurt, or both there!<br />I hope you follow along, I have many more posts from JT on the blog, and waiting to be posted.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-48874018095497326832018-01-02T17:30:42.000-08:002018-01-02T17:30:42.000-08:00Hi Pat

If I would have seen your blog last night, would have headed out to twin tanks as well. Your photos are stunning.

Been a bit under the weather.<br />Read about the DI Gunny who was convicted, don't remember which base it was, San Diego maybe, of abuse of recruits. How time changes, eh? Pretty much the same shit they did you, except you weren't Muslim. <br />My son Henry told me they have a slightly different methodology now in Ranger school, they us sleep and food deprivation, stuff like that. <br />Hope you're well, pal. <br /><br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-40603679456083655802017-11-10T09:44:22.661-08:002017-11-10T09:44:22.661-08:00Hi John!

The sun can be so brutal, that it washes everything out. Also, there is so much wherever you look, that cropping is usually needed. Unless, of course you are looking for a large scene. I did about 5 different crops on the original first photo, and I liked them all. I really don't think I'm that good of a technical photographer, but I think I have a good eye for what will look good. You, on the other hand are a great photographer. One of my favorites!Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-37935686985278352562017-10-29T18:09:17.860-07:002017-10-29T18:09:17.860-07:00Thanks Mary!

Part of it is in the Mojave desert (that borders the Great Basin), and part is in the Colorado desert. Actually, the Colorado desert, is part of the larger Sonoran desert. That was a good question though, the Great Basin is HUGE. Almost the entire state of Nevada, a portions of Oregon, Idaho, California, and Utah.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-78996582861356594012017-10-29T17:03:13.094-07:002017-10-29T17:03:13.094-07:00Pat, you are a very interesting researcher and a p...Pat, you are a very interesting researcher and a photographer also. If I would be in the places like this one I would not even know how to photograph these rocks. You know how to do it. You see them in your special way.
