Why is this my favorite image? First, I worked out for months to get my aging body in somewhat decent shape to do the hiking. Second, I made a goal to learn how to do blue-hour blends on this particular trip. This image came 98% towards my goal of a perfect photo. Additionally, I had the opportunity to travel to many of my “bucket list” destinations on this particular journey. It was a win-win! (except for the tornado warning while crossing in Arizona… How crazy is that?? :)
