Like something out of those prehistoric reconstructions...only it's real, taken last year in California! But then again, the coast does have a way of making time seem like it truly is relative...

Taken in Ventura last August: "Sunset in the Lost World".

Sunsets just hit differently, "At The Shores of Dreams". Taken by me on Hermosa Beach one February evening.

We love the green forests of the marine layer, but there's a certain magnificence to the stark trunks and branches of forests long forgotten, of memories that whisper in the dry, dusty winds of a desert twilight...

"Do Trees Dream of the Big Sky?", taken by yours truly.

From a sunset hike at Palo Duro Canyon on Saturday. Despite it being Saturday, I didn't see a single other person on this trail. I think because it had been threatening to storm during the afternoon. - Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas, USA #Texas #TexasPanhandle #canyon #PaloDuroCanyon #americanwest #americansouthwest #nature #landscape #outdoors #clouds #sunset #sky #Fujifilm #FujifilmXT5 #Tamron #hiking

I had seen a few images of this arch for several years, and I had a good idea of where it was located. I had just never gone in search of it before April 6th. I had several hours to spend at the park and fairly mild temperatures for the significant distance and ascent I knew it would require (about 8 miles and 800 ft). I found it, took a quick cell phone snap to send to my husband, tagged the location in my GPS, and promptly lost any trace of light before I could take any other images with my camera. The light never returned, so I'll have to hoof it up there again for a rematch. - Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas, USA #Texas #TexasPanhandle #canyon #PaloDuroCanyon #americanwest #americansouthwest #nature #landscape #scenicsnature #outdoors #arch #CellphonePhoto #hiking #mobile

So close you can reach out and touch them, those points of light that show the way, to "Where We're Going".

Captured one winter's night at Badwater Basin.
