Quote of the day: "This then: to photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock." -- Edward Weston
I passed through Nevada on my way to Wyoming, and I stayed overnight at Angel Lake State Park. The drive up to the park is quite dramatic, it is a road cut into the side of a mountain with no guard rails. I found it a bit intimidating, especially since on the way up the car is on the outside part of the road. Although the edge of the road appeared to be a sheer drop off the mountain while I was going up, I realized the next day that it is not as steep as it appears. There is a small lake at the top of the moutain and a cliff behind it. I first saw it by the light of a full moon (after setting up my tent), and it was spectacular. I realized that it was an ideal photo opportunity for the rising sun, and I planned to get up the next morning to be in position. I managed to catch some red rays at sunrise, as seen in the photo below. I must say that the cliff did appear very different in sunlight as compared to moonlight. It may be ideal to see it first by the light of a full moon...
