    I hope these look ok I did them at the library on my laptop.
   They are all from Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah, about 30 miles from Arches National Park.  Legend has it the park got it's name from the fact that they would herd horses out on the point and close off a narrow neck of land to corral them.  Once they were left there and died hence the name, or at least that's the story.  The neck is pretty narrow about 30 yards with about a 2000 foot drop on either side but it wasn't as bad going across it as it was thinking about going across it.  There's enough plants and obstructions that it's not real obvious.  Barb was freaking out anyway.  When we left I told her to pull over and let me out and I'd take a picture of her driving across then I'd catch up with her.  She said she didn't want to do it because, "If I'm not with you you'll get too close to the edge!"  I said, "If you weren't with me I wouldn't NEED to get too close to the edge!"  She dropped me off.  The picture sucked though cause you couldn't tell it was narrow there.

   I could enter this in the challenge cause I'm sure Barb thinks a 4500 mile roadtrip with a smartass is purgatory, if not hell itself.
Oh, these are a squarish 8x10 format cause I was making them for Amber.  She wants to decorate her apartment with pics we shot on vacation and she wanted 8x10s.
