Because everyone needs more aurora pictures, right? Two nights ago was actually the first time I've ever seen the aurora. This shot features my Subaru Forester on a ranch road in Harding County, New Mexico, an area with incredibly dark skies, but also an area that rarely gets the aurora. My favorite shot ended up being this one with the interior lights on in the car. I liked the contrast of the cool, blue glow against the red sky. #Sky #Car #Space #Stars #Road #aurora #auroraborealis #night #nightsky #NewMexico #Subaru #nature #scenicsnature #outdoors #Fujifilm #FujifilmXT5

I stopped my car after seeing a herd of cows and strolled along the side of the road at sunset. I was singing to these cows to get them both to look at me, trying to optimally position myself along the barbed wire fence to get the sun just above them. I definitely exposed for that sun, and I was fine with having a silhouette shot. There was some suspended dust from a gravel county road that was running behind them, which added some nice atmosphere. - Randall/Armstrong County line, Texas, USA #Sky #Sunset #cows #cattle #ranching #Texas #TexasPanhandle #sun #clouds #nature #animals #livestock #prairie #scenicsnature #outdoors #fall #autumn #Fujifilm #FujifilmXT5

Awesome sunset earlier this week in Armstrong County, Texas, USA. I tried to line things up to make it look like the tree branches were radiating the crepuscular rays.

All things must come to an end and so did our crossing of the Alps in 2023 with stage 11. On our way from Talschlusshütte to Dreizinnenhütte we didn't talk much as we soaked it all in and were both lost in thought about the past few days. Once we were getting closer to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo it got more and more crowded and we were a bit overwhelmed. After a pause at the hut - much longer than we anticipated, because it was so full - we left for the last part and the final destination. We crossed the imaginary finish line at Rifugio Auronzo and were received by our beloved ones.

It's been our greatest adventure yet and we absorbed so many unforgettable impressions.
Thank you for taking part in this little throwback over the last few weeks!

The Sunset Sentinel - Taken on an evening hike last week at Palo Duro Canyon, Texas, USA. It had been pretty overcast that entire day, but the western horizon started clearing just before sunset, allowing for a little light and color before the day's end.

Remember my post about day seven of our crossing of the Alps? Turns out, I probably became infected on Lienzer Hütte. My body temperature rose during the evening and I had to leave dinner early to change to an empty basement room at Sillianer Hütte. The night was hellish with little sleep. I felt a bit better the next morning, but still pretty weak. Fortunately, nearly all we had to do on stage 10 was descending to Italy during another warm day until we reached the Talschlusshütte in Fischlein valley at the edge of the Sexten Dolomites and I finally could recover a bit. Some wistfulness settled in this evening as the penultimate day of this amazing journey came to an end.
