I'm looking up a few nice pictures from my photo archives these days...
This one was taken on my 2000 trip to Holloman AFB near Alamogordo, NM. I captured it en route between Alamogordo and El Paso about ten miles from Oro Grande. The sky was so pretty since there were several cloud levels. I like the way the lowest cloud is "touched" by the last rays of the day.
I cropped a bit of the bottom, used Neat and increased the brightness a little bit.

Thanks for comments!

All the best for Christmas and 2006!!!

Killing the noice

Hi Andreas,
I tried to kill the noice a bit in Photoshop. This is how I did it:
-select the area in the pic
-filter>dust and noice>1 pixel
-I also had the make the photo a bit smaller, because it somehow became heavier, but that wasn't my intention acutually.
