The only constant in life is change. As energy bathes us, and water cools us, time shifts forward. Our memories are like this landscape, etched into our brains as traumatic storms and gleeful experiences create pathways. With landscapes these pathways are as clear as our memories, but never permanent except for in this moment.

Very graceful.

Nice narrative and even nicer illustration of it.

Elegant. An eye-feast of textures.

The processing is perfect for this image, too.

Heart stopping. Another masterpiece.

I like it.

Really nice but it reminds me of the crusty top of a pan of brownies!!!
My A1C is kicking in, I guess!!

I couldn't agree more, bravo!

Sorry guys, would love to share the secret, but I simply can't make it that easy. I'll post some things over the next few months that will be hints if you continue to follow my work :)

Triple processed. Once to bring out highlights with a warmer tone, then a dark process to bring in shadows with a cooler feel, and the base process which is balanced - yet contrast lacking. There's a slight vignette added as it seemed to help enhance detail at the top - but was not applied to the bottom as the shadows there were already heavy. I went back and forth on softening the image, but ended up liking the softness rather than the sharpened look - it made the image glow.

I propose a guessing game. I have no idea even what continent maddogmurph is on, but I think it'd be fun to try and guess where he shot this.
Wanna play?

Factory Butte Badlands area. Via Google.

PS: Not a fan of location secrecy (okay to not provide specifics, but I see no harm in giving out the general area).

Well that was a short contest. 8) Looks like Rajan nailed it.
I was gonna guess The Pariah Plateau.

That's because you are probably not a professional.
Any pro handing out info on a plate to the world is insane. Next minute your stuff (and research) is worth cents instead of a few dollars - at best.
Of course, I have no idea if the OP is a pro either, but the principle remains.

Unless one has the resources to commission private trips to rarely visited parts of the frozen North and Antartica, all of the world is already laid out on the web. It usually takes a competitor a few minutes (in some cases, say, an hour) between Google and Google Earth to smoke out a location. If one's satisfaction derives from playing cute with locations, know that it is usually a matter of a few keystrokes. The minute you post to the web, it is no longer a secret.

Fair enough; so from the wannebethere guy's point of view, no problem exists.

Love the Pariah. Probably one of my favorite places to shoot on the planet. It's funny I'd never seen a shot from this location - therefor why make it easy. Obviously it's no secret :)
Generally agreed, the truly remote places are the only places to get original photography these days it seems. But honestly, I come to this place to share secrets and information - so I don't really mind if you guys know in general. I've had a lot of different people here help me over the years.
That being said there are some places I'm just not going to make it easy - IE the Pariah - It'll probably be years before I post locations from deep Pariah even though it's well known. I just don't want it to be common knowledge.

Hopefully for you it's not as well known as Antelope Canyon.
Tim Wolcott said: "This one is from Antelope we did 4 canyons and the upper antelope was a ZOO. ZOO IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. But our guide did his best but very nerve racking and tons and tons of people."
But what we like here is your very good framing and processing of the photo.
Have a Nice Day.
