Thanks! This was taken during my stopover to see Santa Fe (the person) on my way back from the Parade in Charlotte in 2008. SF took me for a morning "follow me" drive through the mountains outside of Santa Fe (the town) and at one point we came around a corner, and this is what was there. Simply stunning... you can read all about this natural wonder here: http://www.vallescaldera.gov/

For those who may miss the news item announcement on the home page, I'll also post it here:

We decided it would be fun to showcase a different member's car each month, so we've decided to begin a new feature on the front (or home) page of the Cayman Register called "Picture of the Month." The pictures naturally, should be of a Cayman or Cayman S, and can be a shot of your car in a natural setting, an urban setting, or on the track, something moody... whatever, it's your choice. If someone besides yourself shoots the picture, you must get their permission to submit the picture - we'll be on the honor system here for copyright - but there is no provision in our "budget" to pay anyone for the use of these, mostly because we really don't have a "budget." While the official title will be "Picture of the Month," if we get some nice ones, it might change more often - so a title like "Picture of Whenever We Feel Like Changing it," might be more appropriate, but doesn't have quite the same ring to it. But, we'll change the picture at least once a month. To submit your picture(s) Please upload them to your personal picture album here on the Cayman Register. Then, send a PM to beez, with a link to that picture. From these we'll choose each new one. Pictures used over time will be displayed in the "Pictures of the Month" picture album.

Here is a handy-dandy tutorial on how to upload a picture to your album for the Picture of the month feature: https://caymanregister.org/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_potm

Questions? Feel free to e-mail or send a PM to beez.... happy picture snapping!

Awesome picture, and great idea... I can't wait to see who's car lands on the front page next month.

Nice. I will have to start adding some pics although I don't have many of the car.

I would like request a favor. If you take a picture with a digital SLR it would be nice to know the specifics ie lens and camera and settings on the camera Beez, great picture.

Good idea - I'll check the metadata in my picture editing app, and if the exif data is available, I'll post it with the picture. In this case, I just looked and I have it all, and will edit the post...

Love the pic. I can't wait until Pistol Pete starts submitting images from his massive collection.

So beautiful, and not just the cars. The black hills, the clouds, the sun poking through, everything just comes together.
