Just another 3 days in Paradise ... the Foothills Camera Club's annual photographic pilgramage to one of the most ruggedly beautiful places on the planet. 24 photographers, perfect weather, amazing light. With the dawn light starting at 4:30am and the last dusk light at 11:30pm, this made for very long days for most of us. Afternoon snoozes in a mountain meadow seemed to the best recipe for keeping one's photographic energy up to a high level.

Besides the "standard" Postcard shots, my goal on this trip was to try to create images with more "edge" and imagination.
