Parts of this image lie in shadow, while others gleam in the sun. A sky laden with threats is breaking up, scattering the low hanging clouds that float above the scene. I layer the scene with first a green and then a brown desert foreground. A tiny, twisting road lies within that desert, carrying an even smaller white truck that tells us just how vast this scene really is. Three layers of rock formations comprise the middleground here, while a dark blue/gray sky provides the backdrop. Grandeur depends largely on scale relationships, and this image offers an array of them.
