Weekend Roadtrip …

This last weekend was a blast! I had the privilege of shooting Will and Stephanie’s wedding, which was awesome. They had a great time and wonderful families and I’m working through their photos and will post a few of my favorites soon (stay tuned).

After the wedding I choose to take the long way home and loop up into Idaho and then down through western Utah and Nevada and cut back across the Salt Flats and just scout out any fun places to shoot. I must say, I found some gems on this roadtrip! Check out the photo below from this great area near City of Rocks National Park in southern Idaho.

Pretty incredible sunrise isn’t it? This little gem of a spot was off the beaten path about an hour southeast of Burley, Idaho. I had camped the night before just under Castle Rock which is at the base of those mountains in the background. Here is a fun little shot of the actual sunrise from my camp area.

Did I mention it was cold?? It dropped under 20 the night prior so I was glad to be bundled up in my thermals and winter gear. It warmed somewhat but was a far cry from the 40-50 degree weather we saw last week. Well spring is sure to be here soon and I imagine this is a great spot for summer visits as well.

On the way to this location I spent the day in a little town called Oakley which has a nice collection of historical homes from the late 1800’s and early 1900 period. The homes were constructed in a Victorian style architecture and made for some great pictures as well. I’ll try and get some shots up from the tour of Oakley later this week after I finish processing the pictures from the wedding and another family shoot I did last week. Till then … enjoy the gallery on my www.flickr.com site as there are many other images to browse through. Thanks for the visit!
