Sometimes my day job takes me to some great scenic places. I get to deliver odd things to odd places. This particular day I was heading to a gold mine that was up a very dusty trail. About half way up towards my destination I got out to take this.

This is a combination of three shots bracketed with a variance of one exposure.  For the HDR they were aligned and tone-mapped using a free program for OSX.
