Mojave, California. Copyright © 2012 All rights reserved. Thoughts: As I normally do when I'm headed out to the Sierra Nevada mountains from the San Diego area, I find myself in the Mojave Desert off of Highway 395 when the Sun is about to break. This shot is one of my favorites involving a lone Joshua tree and Sunrise. The Sun only winked at me for a few seconds before rising into the clouds and losing it's color.
Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Copyright © 2012 All rights reserved Thoughts: This was one of those "Racing against the Sun" and "Running down a canyon" type of situations as I was trying to get to False Kiva (had never been there) before the late afternoon light was gone. I had just made it and I was one tired son-of-a-gun as I had been canyoneering in the area during the day.
