When I should have had a red filter
I am my own worst enemy. How much room does a red filter take up? None, practically. How much better are b+w photos with sky and clouds when you use one? A lot. Yet somehow, there I was shooting without one.

Two options: parking lot or sky
If you get the impression from this picture that the main two things here are parking lots and skies, you would not be too far from the truth.

Whipping into the storm
One of my regular commenters (you know who you are) said, in response to this picture from earlier in the month, “I hope you did another shot somewhere just of the sky. Deserves to be more than just supporting cast.”
And so, here we are.
And, here we are with yet another song reference as a title. Because that’s the way I am.

cross/walk
I am not sure why all these crosses were lined up along the street on the outskirts of Española.
I’ve stopped at a lot of roadside crosses, and almost all the time they indicate a place where someone lost their life along the roadway. But this seemed different, somehow. For one thing, there were so many of them. And the death dates were different. Maybe over time, this has developed into the most dangerous roadway in the state. Or maybe over time, this has developed into an ad hoc location to put up a cross for a deceased loved one, if you can’t afford a traditional gravesite.
