Riders in the Dust, September 9, 2011

Before the rodeo started, the evening sun was glowing through a wall of dust that was kicked up by the riders as they moved up and down the dirt path beside the arena. I took several shots, which showcase the different movements and actions of the riders. The dust acts like a fog, obscuring most detail except for the shapes of the horses and riders. It was a beautiful scene.
