Mount Shavano Monochrome Reprise

To follow up on yesterday’s more documentary-style blog post, here are a few “artistic” images from that summit sunset sojourn.

I really enjoy–and even prefer–this high-contrast monochrome effect once the sun sinks low and deep shadows start stretching across the high mountains on to the plain. (NOTE: In large print form, there is often subtle detail, even in the deep shadows, that is not visible on your computer screen.)
