at the close of day by ltodd

at the close of day

For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in the cool night,
In the stillness, in the autumn moonbeams, his face was inclined toward me,
And his arm lay lightly around my breast—and that night I was happy. ....."Walt Whitman"

A morning photo workshop in Santiago on camera settings.... I heard a lot of different ideas, some I don't necessarily agree with, but I am on this trip to learn & improve, so... I will do my best & try & "unlearn" many things.....after lunch we fly to Calama, a mining area in the north of Chile, then a longish bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama.

We are at 2,400 m above sea level, there is a snow capped volcano behind our motel, and already everything around me is so very different... .... dinner in a small cantina where this stranger was deep in thought across the courtyard.

(I can't believe I still forget to reset the time on the cameras!!)
Fabulous candid! I love the lighting, the mood and the story.
