Storm Clouds
©Bert Gildart: Every winter Anza Borrego gets battered by an occasional storm that carries with it rain and snow and sometimes high winds. Conditions associated with winds can create interesting photo conditions just as they did this morning right after sunrise.
At the time I took this photo winds were kicking up sand — and so the atmosphere darkened the sun — meaning that those of us camped at the Springs of Borrego were treated to some rather dramatic views. Other campers also appreciated the sunrise and several waved as I clicked off enough images to assure myself that I had an image not blurred by camera motion, which could have resulted as the harsh winds shoved me from side to side.
Sun muted by sands kicked up by raw winds
And speaking of other campers – and on another subject altogether – I’ve been absolutely amazed to discover that although there are literally hundreds of other campers parked here, that only one person had posted a sticker on his or her vehicle that even hinted of politics. Seems as though this group is more interested in getting along with their neighbors – and sharing a sunrise – than are those we might find back home.
And, oh, that one sticker – what did it say? It simple said: VOTE.
Maybe politicians from both parties should forget Congressional storm clouds and embark on a long camping trip.
