Penelope stands on the pedestrian walkway overlook of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge near Taos, New Mexico, during a spectacular sunset. The dramatic gorge drops hundreds of feet below, with sheer basalt walls carved by the Rio Grande visible in the background. She is dressed in a white tank top and green beaded necklace, holding clothing items, smiling casually into the camera. The bridge railing is heavily covered in graffiti, a well-known characteristic of this landmark. The image was processed using HDR tonemapping (Photomatix), giving the sky, canyon, and surrounding high desert plateau a rich, vivid, painterly quality.
