Daily Frame: A Viewfinder Journal

A variation on a theme. I took this same photo during the day a few months ago. Now, leaving the hot springs after staying until closing, I had to stop and see what the sky looked like over the deserted roadside

Lean into the light. 2:58 a. m. Another routine SpaceX launch, this time heading south. I miss living in this town for moments like this. Photograph taken with a Sony a7 IV and Sigma 24–70mm lens.
