Bored and had a nice night. Light pollution is a real issue with my backyard, but this turned out alright.

Under the "stay home" advisory in Kentucky I have been looking back at some RAW files from prior outings.

This one from Alaska I call "sunset flight"

Mistaya Canyon

I went on a drive along the Icefields Parkway (the road that connects Banff and Jasper). It was a bluebird day, and all these touristy sites were pretty much deserted.

Strong week everyone! Terrific, varied entries.

Two in particpular jumped out to me. Zach's Thirsty Work is a great macro example. It was a very 'A Bug's Life' glimpse into another world. The other, and my choice for the week is Joel's Sunset Flight. I'm a sucker for interesting lighting and moody clouds, which this has in spades. Nice separation of the subject, and just an overall great feel.

Congrats Joel.

congrats Joel! and thank for the mention Patrick, it's one of the few "good" insect macro's i've gotten.

Thanks Patrick!
