Dan, I agree with Colin. That's a beautiful image!
Thank you both. I worked really hard for that shot. It started raining. That was one of the last shots I took, and I knew it was special. What a beautiful place, and difficult to reach! Being there makes you feel like you've reached a secret enclave. I climbed out of the gorge by headlamp. The secret to photography isn't having the latest greatest lens. It has more to do with understanding and appreciating your subject, which is easy when you live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
Thanks to all the veterans who have given so much for us all. Let's honor them by honoring the Bill of Rights in our interactions with everyone, every day. We live under the most brilliant form of government ever conceived, and great sacrifice was required for its institution as well.
