Not sure what the name of the range is, these mountains are around Sedona, AZ.

I wasn't the one who took the actual picture, but I'm sure the guy would not mind. For the same reason I don't know the camera model.
I just wish they were bigger so I'd be able to use them as a wallpaper.

Arizona has some beautiful landscapes.

This is one I like from several years ago (my watermark got mixed up somehow )



Superstition mountains at sunset...  and yes they really are that orange at sunset, this is basically a direct scan from 6x7 Velvia.

Mingus is to the west, it has a forest on it. I don't know what this one is called.

I see.
I thought it was Mount Rainier, now that I compared the peaks it does look very different.

If you have photoshop, open the file and up the dpi to 300 or 420.  That might give you what you need to use them as wallpaper.  Maybe.  If you don't have access to photoshop, PM me and I'll help you out with it.

I don't have photoshop, but I just tried putting in on my wallpaper and it does not look that bad, actually looks pretty good. I guess windows did it automatically.

Appreciate the offer.
