A few images shot while exploring the lights in the trees one night with Wreckless…
This one is a slideshow:
It is one o’clock in the morning. Maybe a little later. I can never remember if the clock in my car is right or not.
As I near the top of Oak Creek Canyon, the moon is dancing with the clouds. Trying to shine through.
The drive up the canyon from Sedona is twists and turns and steep canyon on every side. At the top, though, before the road turns to continue towards Flagstaff there is a guardrail and a view. There is actually an overlook with parking and indian crafts for sale but the gate is closed. So, I pull over to the side of the road and set up my tripod and shoot. 30-second exposures. One at a time. For fifteen minutes or so.
It is cold and dark and the clouds are moving fast, still flirting with the moon. A car drives by mid-exposure, heading down into the canyon, and lights up the ground in front of me. And, with that car and its headlights I found this image. I kind of like it.

Doing those exposures the other night inspired me to do a few more. This time I walked around downtown Williams. Along historic Route 66. Capturing scenes that during the day, especially during the summer, see countless numbers of tourists. Thousands of tourists flock to Williams every day during the summer. Like I said before- Historic Route 66 and the Gateway to the Grand Canyon. Welcome to Williams, Arizona.
Tonight, though, the streets are mine. And so I shoot…

Today is my birthday. Today I am thirty-three. Happy Birthday to me!
Anyone who wants to give me a birthday present may do so. I won’t complain. I think, though, that even though it is my birthday and I should be the one receiving presents and prizes I am actually going to give away a prize.
How does that sound?
