Dry Lake Bed

This dry lake bed was taken in the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife refuge. I went there "out of season" in September and, although there was a fair amount of birds, the dry lake bed turned out to be my favorite subject there.

The setting sun added warmth and texture to the lake bed.

The "tufts" of earth in the picture were about 6 or 7 inches high and separated by about 3 or 4 inches, making it tough to walk on.
