Ron:

I like the barren landscape with signs of life clinging to it, the trees and grasses/moss in the cracks.
Like the framing with the two trees, but could see a version cropped from the right a bit to play up the trees a bit more. 

Really just depends on the story you are telling I guess!

Cheers

Randy

I enjoy this very unusual combination of the elements and like the composition.

Thank you Randy and Akira.  I don't know if anyone else sees it, but what I see is hot lava with a bubble of (poison) gas emerging from it creating a rounded structure in this ankle breaking terrain.  Improbably, a tree grows from a crack, hundreds or thousands of years later.    This road was paved about 10 years ago.
