Starting at White Sands & ending on a ridge above Los Alamos, I decided that this was the Dept of Defense trip. My brand new tent got a good inauguration (which it passed with flying colors) during a 7 hour thunderstorm at White Sands. It's the first time my dog stayed in the tent with me once it started to flap in the wind. These super light fabrics they use now make a much lighter sound than the old ripstop nylon. She got as far as poking her nose out under the fly before spending the rest of the night curled up next to me. I finally got a few hours of sleep after the wind stopped around 2am. This was a handheld pano taken as the first drops were coming down.
After a few hours sleep, my neighbors over the next dune awoke me with their voices, so I got up to find a place for sunrise. Watching the colors on the white sand change was amazing and I was busy turning to shoot in different directions.
The sand verbena added some nice color, too
And these are the people who woke me up. After finding them in this composition I was feeling much more charitable toward them.
After leaving White Sands, I stopped through the Ojito badlands and ended up on a ridge above Los Alamos. As I was watching the clouds, it occurred to me that maybe I should take a picture.... This is a handheld pano of what seemed to be clouds appropriate to the Manhattan Project.
