A few days ago, I went for a short photo walk on the Observatory Trail on Palomar Mountain, walking in the oak forest amongst sparse autumn colors. On the drive home, I was treated to a beautiful sunset, partially due to a the colors fire burning to the north and the colors the smoke it added to the sky.

The last week in August I participated in a photo safari (workshop) in the southwestern desert. It felt like a safari because we had to use 4-wheel drive vehicles to get to our locations. The landscape was the subject, not animals. We went to a few different locations. We used dim lights to illuminate the landscape at night. The first stop was a place called White Pocket in northern Arizona, where we camped after taking photographs past midnight.

On the final day of the workshop we went to a short but scenic slot canyon near Kanab, Utah.
On the way home, I stopped in Zion National Park.
