I have been drawn to the hills around Smiley Canyon at Fort Robinson. When the sun gets low they show up as a lovely set of lines. This is a simple composition anchored by the single tree in the foreground. I like the on-off pattern of tree to hills to trees to … more hills! Capped by another set of lines in the clouds. It’s nothing but lines all the way down. Here’s something else I want to see more—the tiny line of trees on the distant horizon. I need to set up an Andreas Feininger New York skyline from 20 miles away kind of long lens. A 500mm with a double extender on a small sensor. In the end it will be a blurry heat haze mess that’s just a line of tree silhouettes, but it’ll be MY blurry hazy mess.
