The trail sidles across the slope below the glacial erratics and beneath the 5500m peaks opposite. The new 'road' (a really rough track) is to the left center. What road travel in remote regions brings you is not ease of passage - the jeep acts like a bucking bronco at 20 kph - but freshness, focus and time to take the shots you want. Trekkers are 'head down and march' on to the next campsite, you always miss out on stacks of opps, more so if you use a time eater (tripod). 85mm is a great FL for this kind of big country landscape.
I couldn't resist applying this tilt shift effect on this image of Port Isabel. I climbed up the lighthouse which is higher and windier than I thought to get this vantage point. South Padre Island is just over the bridge in the background.
I had some creative fun with this image showing some of the sand dunes at the northern dune of the South Padre Island. I went for a moody feel to this one.
