In October of 2022 we spent a couple of days tent camping at Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada. This location offers a dramatic landscape of eroded clay that gives the feeling of bing on a lunar landscape. I chose to photograph this colorful landscape just after sunset to revel more detail and to soften the shadows in the scene. I often will start photographing just after sunset and will continue until a point where most of the ambient light has faded away and night has set in. This public recreation area has many miles of trails to hike with narrow slot canyon to explore.

Terlingua Tx. Cemetery
I was in Terlingua Tx. this past year to do some night photography. This area of Texas has wonderful night skies and a few interesting old mining towns. I made this image around midnight using a flashlight to paint some light on the crosses. I have made several trip to this area over the years and I am always fascinated with the rugged landscape and the history of the area.
