[I recommend clicking on this image, to view it larger, so as to get rid of any Moire pattern you may have on your computer. (It's better as a print, but ain't that always the truth.) Taken with the 5D and a very long lens for 102 minutes. Have a film image of this as well, that's in the queue. That one will have less noise but I still like this image. The air was marvelously thin, so quiet I could hear my blood pump, Bristlecone Pines growing a mile down below. A great night. Wish you had been there. Maybe next time. Or you can go yourself. I'll give you directions.]
