Motivating Earth Shadow: Captivating Landscape
San Francisco, California When I arrived this morning, the only other person on this hill was someone who decided to bypass the locked gate and drive up. I would have done the same, but I am in the habit of hiking up if the gate is closed. I would hate to see the park closed until daylight, and one of the rangers said that it could happen because of people driving up anyway. That would disappoint me greatly :( Anyway, as the sun came I decided to break away from the other photographers and hike up to the other side of the hill above the parking lot. The swirling vortexes in the fog below the last hint of the Earth Shadow (that is what my friend Peyton Hale called it in Death Valley) were completely mesmerizing. I am glad I found some solitude this morning - it was needed :)
