Black Hills Overlook Trail, May 5, 2013

It's a clear blue sky, and I'd sure like to see some clouds up there. But the blue contrasts nicely with the dead orange needles in the trees. The Black Hills Overlook got burned during the 2012 wildfires in the region, and six months later the area is regrowing, but the blackened trees will take a while to recede. The trail meanders up the hill, providing a nice curving counterbalance to the large tree in the foreground and leading quite literally from front to back. With a stately look like that, the clean blue sky feels appropriate.

Cowboy Trail Bridge, March 1, 2008

This bridge spans a short gap between two hills along the Cowboy Trail. It's fun to poke around under the bridge, but this time I was drawn to the linear possibilities on top. With a wide lens and some helpful shadows, I showcase arrows toward infinity. All it needs is a moon composited at the end.
