The things you can do with a telephoto lens! I love being able to pull in a scene like this. This is a shot of the hills at the base of Picuris Peak. From our location, that means you’re looking south. Basically, I just walked to the top of the driveway and there it was. Some idiot was going to develop this area a few years back, and a bunch of us stopped it. One of the best things I ever helped do—that, and saving the Valle Vidal from fracking. Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to keep fighting the same battle over and over?
Even More Clouds
Can’t knock mountains just outside the door, no sir
