More Red Stone
Upon driving back from the Southwest Chief shot (previous post), I spied another possible shot with red stone, but had to get coffee first.
With coffee in hand, I ran straight back but was delayed by someone driving slowly to the casino near this spot. As I pulled up a westbound stack train hustled by—before I could set up to shoot. That's okay I mused, I need an eastbound train.
Luck would have it that I didn't have to stand in the cold very long before one obliged. This locale is just seven miles east of downtown Gallup, between the Fire Rock Navajo Casino and the Navajo Technical University Innovation Center.
Again, I need to zoom in when shooting in the field. Here's another blow up of the final image. Pyramid Rock can be seen in the middle distance.
