Wasn't sure where to post this, so chose here rather than trip reports (unless Nick wants to move it there) because although it was one vacation some years ago it's a hotch potch of some favourite desert places, all pretty well known, and I hope nice eye candy.
I've put them on because I was looking back at some old pics I took with a cheap compact camera, but now with the benefit of learning to use basic photoshop years later, I've been able to reveal what the camera couldn't cope with in the high light contrast and which it previously reduced to dark or black shadow - even though my eyes saw the scene. So now many are looking more like the real thing I thought some were worth posting - hope you like them
