About half way up the drive to Los Alamos there’s a scenic pullout, and “normal” travelers might pull over long enough to take some selfies and/or glance across the landscape before they get back in their cars and resume the trip.

Photographers (who are almost never in the “normal” camp) will pull over, turn off the car, get out cameras and lenses and tripods and ND filters, and spent a long-ass time making photos.

In case you were wondering why it takes photographers practically forever to get anywhere.
