I liked this shot in particular, for a few reasons. I did not doctor the colors at all i this shot, and it does a pretty good job of capturing the stark contrast of shade and sun. I know, I know. Enough about the shade/sun business. But it can't be overstated what a difference it made to be in the shade!
I also like the shot for the contrast in colors, and the textures, and the majestic view of the canyon stretching off into the distance. This view is looking southward toward the mouth of the canyon a few miles further south. This shot is one of the last views of this side of the valley for quite a while. At this point, the trail heads into Refrigerator Canyon, and treats us to a different kind of scenery.
And I know I prolly ruined the shot by inserting the text on it, but I kept a copy of the pristine original here.

You always make me laugh when you speak south gate! I thought the best part of the picture was the "scorching heat here" text. It looks scorching hot. I had to go drink a glass of ice water just from looking at the picture!
