a sweet little adventure, out with a friend to friends.
A sky of stars descending, each one dancing in the heat of a fire.
The fire wavering, leaping, glowing.
Song, sounds, music, drums ringing, calling, giving.
to the sweet cool air all about.

Vegas strip last night was bogus,  a nice walk, but We wanted nature, earth, desert – so we headed to calico basin to catch some red rocks, stars, and fresh air.  I didn’t end up getting many images of the surrounding folds of rocks as I look back.  Nor any of the Petroglyphs.  I was more interested in gaping and clambering over some boulders, maybe a friend will post some and I can link to them.  So here is what I did catch

Sunset by April’s Photography Forum

As the presenter’s presentation drew to a close most went up to look at the photographers work, a few of us were drawn to the evening light golden in the sky.  Arriving had been a shower of sleet, light rains, and rainbows.  Now the east was lit with dark creamy streaks – the lingering pannus now virga of the squalls. The west by a low setting sun under the clouds was lit, and aflame with trumpeting glory.
fine light for the photographers
