Hi Richard,
I don't know, but that's a right nice landscape photo. I bet a tourist type
outfit would grab it in a moment simply because it eschews... Beauty, Quiet
and not a million people sharing the landscape! Even better? It illustrates
"CLEAN AIR COUNTRY SIDE!"  Harder to find these days than many might think.

Besides with a little PHOTOSHOP you could have cloned in an Alien space
craft into the beautiful blue of the sky and sent it to CNN as a "wildly
seen moment over the desert! Where unbeknownst by the military, Alien space
craft have been landing for ages and you have photo proof!"  :-)  Yeah I
know... "Ted go back to bed or have another cup of coffee!" :-)

But look at it this way. The media are gullible enough these days they'd
believe your story and in twenty minutes TWITTER would have it tweeted to a
billion viewers around the world! ;-) Or vise versa get some innocent
bystander to TWEET it! :-) Then you can't be charged with nefarious
foolishness! :-)

However? You stand by camera in hand waiting for the hordes of "TWEET-HEADS"
who'd descend the area in moments. You shoot the hordes, then "sell the
first ever alien images" to a moronic "news only channel" for a fortune
because your first on the scene! Make a fortune and quietly re-tire on your
own exclusive island . :-)

What the hell go for it! ;-)

cheers,
Dr. ted :-) See what can happen when a vey nice scene triggers your wild and
crazy imagination???????? :-)
Yeah OK! The guys with white coats just arrived so I must leave now!! ;-)
;-)
