Air or error

These were taken out the window of a commercial airliner during the mid-morning hours. Obviously, not ideal light conditions. The terrain would be somewhere between eastern California and probably New Mexico.
The low clouds abut the mountains.
Shadows of the jagged rocks.
Veins of dry riverbeds on the desert floor.
A conical strip mine.
Lower clouds and their shadows on the ground. (I presume the lines are roads leading up to homes.)


Yes, this is how they turned out with some post tweaking.
