Hi Bernie,

Great photo I love the 395. Looks like a sunset shot looking east, I could be wrong though. You could of acheived a little more sharpness with a smaller apeture.

I don't feel your title in this shot. It doesn't feel desolate since you have wires and barbed wire in the shot. It means people live here.

But i really like the moment you choose, the sunlight on the mountains, the plants in the foreground in the shade. For me this feels as if it is in the middle of the winter somehow and with the sun giving some hope to relief the cold.
