This shot was taken somewhere during the road trip to Colorado. we came across these uplift in terrain with the road slicing through and I noticed that there was some glow in the sky due to the belt of Venus and a moonrise was happening. The road was taking an interesting curve and was providing me with a cool leading line. That plus the geological formation on either side of the wall made this an interesting shot for me. Hopefully, you all will like it too.

It rarely rains in southern California, but we do get those days occasionally during the winter season. It was raining for the past two days and finally the sun is back out. I was going over the old photographs and realized that I missed processing one of the panorama stitch images from our trip to Colorado during the fall of 2016. If my memory is correct this shot was made at McClure Pass at an overlook that faces east towards the town of Marble and a range of mountains that includes Mt Daly, Capitol Pean, and Sheep Mountain.
This shot was taken using the 24-70mm lens in vertical orientation at 56 mm and is a stitched together from about 9 images. I used a 2 stop ND grad filter which I realigned for each shot. I am lucky enough to have a ballhead that has the panning mechanism close to the clamp making easier to pan at the right degrees. The shot was taken at sunset with some amazing light on the mountainside.
