Excellent photos.

The Great Basin is a harsh, austere work of natural art. My work takes me there regularly. And, yes, I often stumble upon herds of wild horses.

Interestingly enough, I occasionally stumble upon the "cousin" of the cowboy -- the shepherd. In some very remote places in the mountains and valleys of northern Nevada, I'll run into a lone Basque shepherd (often with dogs) tending to a large flock of free-ranging sheep. I'll find their tiny trailers out in these remote places too.

In the most beautiful state in the Union, Nevada keeps the tradition of the Romantic West alive.

Thanks for sharing these photos!
