My last post was about snapping photos at that scenic vista on your next road trip. So I figured I'd share one I found from a box of printed photos. I think I took this about 25 years ago with a 35mm Pentax or Ricoh camera:
Is this my favorite photo I've ever taken? No, of course not. But if memory serves me, I had my camera on a hike while in high school and took just a second to (try) to get the settings right and snap something that looked interesting.
What's the story here? What did this rock wall used to be? Likely it was some sort of turn-of-the-century settler's homestead, or perhaps just an entry marker to a rancher's land. Either way, I found it interesting so stopped for just a second to take in the sights and snap a pic.
This was before smartphones, and before digital photography really became accessible to us common folk. Long story short, enjoy your trip, but take a moment to smell (and photograph) the roses.
