Perhaps the approach of Halloween has me thinking of candy. But the cuts in the terrain, on the right-hand side of the image remind me of the icing swirls on a chocolate cake. This may have something to do with the three bags of Halloween candy that I am storing in my office!
The image shown in this post was taken in Mesquite Canyon. Mesquite Canyon is located in the El Paso Mountains, and was extensively mined during the 19th century. Unsavory characters made life difficult for miners and for travelers - right through the 1960's!
On this day, my wife and I had decided to venture into the El Paso Mountains, after taking in the Old West Days fair in Randsburg. It was early evening, and the sun was casting its shadows on the folds of the rocks. The Mountains in the distance are the Rand Mountains.
