As we enter our 44th day over 100 my thoughts turn to last fall and cool evenings when I could setup a tripod without oven mitts and wait for the sun to turn the mountains into gold.
Light and freezing it in time can be daunting at times. But when it happens and the shutter clicks as the wind pauses and the sun breaks through the clouds and illuminates the subject as if fired by a remote, it is magic.
