On a cross country trip in 2018 we spent a day on the “Island in the Sky” at Canyonlands National Park. Driving across the mesa was not very interesting, but there were so many spectacular views from the rim, that it was hard to choose a favorite. This scene was captured when the afternoon sun was getting low enough in the sky to add some nice shadows to the scene. The clouds were probably harbingers of Tropical Storm Rosa which went through the area after we headed north.

During a visit to Oak Park Illinois, I stepped out the door to do some night photography. The first thing that caught my eye was the pattern of light given off by this solar powered light illuminating the walkway.
