Organ Mountains New Mexico

The Organ Mountains are located near Las Cruces, New Mexico. In photography I believe that the elements of "Location-Light-Luck" play a great part in producing an image of merit. In this case all three elements were met. This was my first visit to this location and, as luck would have it, the location was excellent as was the light. In my experience this rarely happens. Often I find myself re-visiting a location many times before "The Magic" occurs. On this occassion "Magic" was on my side.
Access to this area is excellent. This was one of those situations where you can literally drive up to an uncluttered view of this mountain range..no houses or wires in the scene anywhere. This is BLM Land and it has saved the view for those of us that like pristine views with no sign of "Man's Handiwork".
Vivian and I were lucky on this one...I hope you enjoy the image.
