Shot 1: I woke up Saturday morning in the National Forest south of Tuysayan. There was a lot of haze and it smelled smokey...looked like the fires might be an issue this year. But it really only affected the sky transparency one night, and the public hardly noticed.
Shot 3 - 5: I was fortunate, thanks to an invite from friends, to visit the old Aiken residence down by Roaring Springs Monday night. Here's a few shots from the place.
