Loving this one! Beautiful rendition and a REALLY cool idea Bettina. This is really great...Biy do I remeember Payson...it's probably twice as big as it was last time WE were there!! Love your title here, too :-)A Pitstop in Payson probably beats a Car Crash in Carefree! <3

2 Aug 2013 3:35pm

@Denny Jump Photo: LOL you're right. it also beats a breakdown in Bisbee, or a tantrum in Tucson. ;)

@Look from Nivelles, Belgium

A very good composition ! I like your idea and the realisation !

This really pushes the boundaries of fantasy, the power lines almost make one think

STEED from D, France

Yes !!!! I imagine this point as an End of the World......Last station before a Large Desert.....Last time You see water(and only on the ground,after the rain),and last chance for You to" give a drink"to Your car.......The wind is shufflin' and the doors of an old saloon are sadly whispering.....A vulture just came to land down on the City's indication,and,unfortunely,there's no more gas oil in the petrol pumps.........Hard Day,Bet'.......Hard Day.......

2 Aug 2013 8:39pm

@STEED: LOL. That's n awesome story! It's the apocalypse. Nothing left to do but eat the last chips in the car and play the radio as long as the battery lasts. ;)

Congratulations on your deserved spotlight here, it really is magnificent, I feel for some
reason it was shot from a pirate ship, your photos are really in the art zone, like no other,
so when I see them I am always mesmerized !~

@Phil Morris: Aww thank you for that. I love the image of a pirate ship here. This is my favorite one, so I'm glad you feel that way, too. This was the art zone for me. :)
