Sunset over Smith Valley

I've been busy in the past month shooting in Bodie several times, Yosemite, Death Valley, and Nevada, pursuing subjects like wildflowers, old buildings and rusty mining artifacts, lunar rainbows, the Milky Way and the Camelopardalid meteor shower.  Occasionally the weather calls me outside to pursue clouds and sunset.  This was a spur of the moment opportunity to chase some clouds at sunset over nearby Smith Valley, Nevada.  It had rained earlier in the day, so the unpaved roads required to reach this spot were soft and slick.  +Lori Hibbett and I barely made it out as clay mud caked onto my SUV's tires.
