From my archives:

We arrived just in time for the light to begin hitting Mount Moran, and we had a lovely sunrise with Alpine glow on the Mountain peaks. Here for image.

There were quite a few photographers already set up in the most popular viewing area when we arrived. I found a little spot between some photographers for those initial images then after the color faded I moved farther down the beach away from the crowd to shoot “Golden Hour”.

Clockworks-Modern

My little Howard Miller carriage clock that I’ve had for eons got knocked off the table a few weeks ago and broke so, I asked He-Man to help me break it open so I could photograph some macro images of the inner workings.

This is one of the images I made during the week while shooting Macro for my Project 52. I was disappointed to find the gears are plastic!
