 Shot at the Byron Springs Hotel with my dog
Perchick
Who was along to give me the excuse of walking my dog as a way of forgiving my trespassing on rangeland. Cattlemen are suckers for a well behaved dog. I did get stopped, but they let me finish "walking my dog after a long car ride". He is a very cautious dog, so I trust him in situations like this not to step on anything dangerous. He didn't.

I really loved this shot Brennan. The texture is mind boggling and I loved the lighting and color. Looks like you should have worn a hard hat and work boots for this shot! Congrats on your HM!

Thanks for being worried about my poor dog. No animals were harmed in the making of this image. i was proud of him for holding his stay well enough not to blur a 1/13th second exposure.

Bizarre, but cool. A dog like that just reminds me of royalty or something, of cleanliness, not squalor, at any rate. One of my faves from this challenge. Hope his paws were alright!
Also, great location.

Could easily be at Salton Sea!! (Hey! That rhymes!)

If voters buy that this is a room and not a house, this will finish near the top. Actually, it will probably finish near the top, regardless.

Cute dog. Great photo. My dog is such a spaz, he would have shredded his feet on stuff. Really like this. :)

The breaches in the wall add to emptiness but the dog looks like a statue. 6

Love the room, where did you find such a place! The dog, however (is that a poodle?)...not so scary. Overall great photo.
