Aerials: Day 2- Lone Pine to Kayenta

Here’s a snapshot from this morning in Lone Pine, and the laptop set-up. Being able to see the images full screen as soon as they are shot is perfect. I can check the histograms for exposure and keep on shooting!

We piled on the layers today. I had on long underwear (black), jeans and ski pants… plus sweatshirts and a heavy down jacket. At times today, we were as high as 9,200 ft to navigate across the mountains.

I’m sorry sir, we don’t have an airport…

Tonight, we’re in Kayenta, a small (very small) town outside of Monument Valley. You gotta wonder when you make the hotel reservation and we mention that we’ll be arriving at the “airport” and the clerk says… “I’m sorry sir, we don’t have an airport. Well… we do have a landing strip…” They offered a ride since the airport was 1 1/2 miles away. Did I mention that Kayenta doesn’t have cellular service… we’re talking small town. The scene of us trekking down the highway with our luggage was right out of a really bad reality show!
