I had gone down to Joshua Tree NP for the lunar eclipse, hoping to escape clouds, and managed a little scenery on the side.  It was severe clear and VERY hot except for the evening of the eclipse, when it was very hot and partly cloudy.  (Fortunately, the deepest part of the eclipse was in between thin fingers of cloud.)  This was with the IR converted Canon 5D2 with a little mood enhancement in Photoshop.

The detail and contrast in this is very pleasing, Diane.

Neat shot and good choice to convert to IR.

I like it, perhaps a bit brighter on the light tomes would make it be more impactful

Folks, this wasn't an image converted to make look like it was shot in IR, this was taken with a camera converted to photograph the actual IR spectrum.

Thanks, everyone! It does look like the brightest tones could be brighter. I apparently didn't look at the histogram carefully enough, but went by the appearance on a dark BG. The BG color can change the perception of an image greatly.
