From a trip to California a few months ago. The colors just pop in this one. No correction of colors, just a crop. Sometimes I get lucky and a scene just happens.

This is one of a series I took that evening as the sun set. I was staying in Loft Campground in the park, sitting on the Appalachian Trail when I photographed this.

Dad shot this photo in 1967 and I scanned it in from a slide a few years ago after his death.

Yes... I did stop in the middle of nowhere Arizona - trailer in tow - and stand on the side of the truck to get this photo (looking towards California) because there was no one else for a few miles in any direction.
