The end of the evening - a photo on Flickriver

The end of the evening

            A last image from Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.

What an incredible evening is was as this storm rolled in. Neither of us (I was out there with fellow photographer Eric Gail) wanted to leave, since the skies were still so amazing, but the park closes at sundown. I was happily still shooting when I noticed that the park ranger had turned on an alarm at the parking area and set the lights flashing on his truck. I reluctantly started walking back to the car, but every time I turned around the sky was still amazingly, achingly dramatic, so I kept shooting - handheld, high ISO - and he kept shouting at me, "Keep walking!! The park closed 10 minutes ago. C'mon. Keep walking!!". Turning around for one final shot (this shot) is just about as disobedient as I get.

I know this image is fatally flawed - noisy, handheld and shaky - but it reminds me of the thrill of that amazing storm in that incredibly special place and sheer joy of being out there with my camera, trying to capture it all.
