Mare's tails


HIGH CIRRUS IN THE CHIHUAHUAN DESERT EAST OF EL PASO, TEXAS, JANUARY 26, 2010

Pentax K20D
Sigma 17-70 DC at 17mm
1/250 sec. f11
ISO 400

I took this shot from my sleeper window on the westbound Texas Eagle/Sunset Limited. The train's windows were dirty, but holding the camera to the glass until the lens hood almost touched it helped keep specks of grime from showing up in the photograph. A little post processing deepened the blue of the sky and outlined the fine tendrils of the clouds.
